Year one results of Shelf Life on Bahiagrass Stockpile.

We’re evaluating bahiagrass varieties to see if newer options can help extend fall grazing and improve stockpile “shelf life” in southwest Arkansas.

📍 SWREC – Hope, Arkansas

Key findings from Year 1:
✅ Bahiagrass stayed greener longer in the fall compared to bermudagrass
✅ Newer varieties did not clearly outperform traditional standards
✅ Stockpiled warm-season forage is best utilized before Thanksgiving

We evaluated:
• Pensacola bahiagrass
• UF Riata
• TifQuik bahiagrass
• Common bermudagrass

These results suggest that stockpiled bahiagrass can be a practical fall forage option, with all bahiagrass varieties showing promise for extending grazing opportunities.
