How can i buy some of these varieties to be shipped to Texas. How do I buy anything created by UF?

I'd like to replace my lawn with Ecoturf. Do I need to till the dirt first? Or can I plant it and little by little remove the vegetation around it to allow it to take over? I've seen people use a thick layer of mulch as well.

You would need to remove all vegetation that might compete. Perennial Peanut establishes very slowly.

Do you water them with fluoridated water? If so, does that affect the bacteria on the roots?

These are rain-fed plots. No irrigation.

Can it be used in plantations (rubber plantation) as ground cover to eliminate weeds.

@PanhandleAgExtension Жыл бұрын

Perennial peanut has been used as a ground cover in citrus groves, so it could likely work for rubber trees too. But there is nothing you can plant that "eliminates weeds." Weed control is still an issue in perennial peanut. The benefit is a cover crop or ground cover that also adds nitrogen to the soil.

Mam, can the cowboy variety be propagated through cuttings?

@PanhandleAgExtension Жыл бұрын

You plant the rhizomes underneath the ground.

Is UF Cowboy the Lowest growing Highest flowering variety ?

@PanhandleAgExtension 3 жыл бұрын

They all produce a high volume of flowers after mowing. Waxy leaf is the lowest growing varieity, but UGA Cowboy is also a fairly low growing turf type variety.

We are still evaluating the low growing varieties. Cowboy is one of the better options for turf, but the data is still being collected.

@@PanhandleAgExtensionwhere can I buy cowboy or any of the low growing varieties? I’m located in central Florida 30 miles north of Orlando. Only found 1 nursery that had it and he had no idea what he had other than it was arachnis glabrata. Found a second place near Tampa (a little far) that had it but I think all the offered was ecoturf.

I am inquiring for the best variety for horses. Can I contact you via your website for this information?

@PanhandleAgExtension Жыл бұрын

Ecoturf would be best for grazing, but there is not much difference as far as hay quality. Hay yield is better with the newer varieties due to disease resistance.

@@PanhandleAgExtension do you know of any farmers that grow Bahia/Perennial Peanut pastures for equine grazing? How do the two species mix in? Is the Peanut too rich for grazing? Thx.
