nitrogen (N) during one year only. A 1-ton application of calcic lime was made prior to the grazing trial. Beef production in steer grazing trials at the Range Cattle Station averaged 202 pounds per acre annually on pangolagrass pasture treated with 6-6-6 fertilizer in March at 500 pounds per acre (14). Production on similarly fertilized Pensacola bahia- grass was 152 pounds per acre. Fertilization with 900 pounds per acre of 9-6-6 put on as three equal warm-season applications produced 338 pounds beef gain per acre on pangolagrass and 215 pounds on Pensacola bahiagrass. Animal performance data on pastures receiving different rates of fertilization in a 2-1-1 ratio of N, P205, and K20 are shown in Table 2 (15). Cattle were added and removed as needed to balance stocking rate and forage supplies. The carrying capacity of a pasture is influenced by weather, fertilization rate, supplemental feeding practices, and weight and age of animals. Pangolagrass fertilized annually with 100- 50-50 pounds per acie of N, P205, and K0O on Immokalee fine sandy soil at the Range Cattle Station provided forage for mature cows stocked at the rate of one head per two acres plus calves until weaned and a bull during the breeding season (16). Pangolagrass and St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secun- datum (Walt.) Kuntze.] pastures on muck soil at the Everglades Experiment Station produced beef gains of 861 and 1,053 pounds per acre, respectively (9).

Use of a packer following the harrow produces a smoother field with SSix% N, 6% P205 and 6% KLO, respectively.
