Pastures for Florida


 The grazing management depends upon the growth habits
and growth stage of plants. These factors are discussed in
detail.
 Certain seeds, such as those of Bahia grasses, are scarce.
Harvesting of seed from established pastures should be en-
couraged. Several seed harvesting methods are discussed.
 Temporary pastures supply feed during periods when other
feed sources are insufficient or of low quality. Temporary pas-
tures may be planned to furnish some green feed any time of
the year. Good cultural practices and improved or adapted seed
sources should be used.
 The characteristics for identifying and a brief description of
pasture plants are given. Best uses for the various plants are
suggested.
