Kliengrass Called Good Brush Replacement
LUBBOCK The new popularity
of Kleingrass in Texas is based on
good reasons, according to Dr. Bill 4
E. Dahl, Texas Tech University
professor of range and wildlife
management.
“Kleingrass is a good replace-
ment for brush. It grows well, is
adaptable and nutritious, and cat-
tle perfer it to some of the other
grasses commonly planted.”
Dahl suggested caution, how-
ever. in feeding Kleingrass to
sheep and goats.
“Some researchers report a
possible poisoning problem with

said.
. Kleingrass will not keep the
brush from returning, although
any good stand of grass will make
it unlikely that a brush seed will
survive if it happens to germinate,
he said.
In planting of Coastcross-1-
Bermuda grass and Kleingrass,
Kleingrass produced more grass
per acre, and more catle were able
to graze Kleingrass during the
grazing season because of earlier
spring growth. Coastcross also
required regular mid-summer and
late summer rains.
While forage production was
higher for Kleingrass than foe
Coastcross, cattle gained more on
Coastcross, where tha latter was
adopted.
Kleingrass responds well to low
levels of fertilizer, and research
indicates that rates of 40-40-40
pounds per acre of nitrogen,
potassium and phosphorous have
given as high a yield ar rates of
160-40-40.
Kleingrass is grown from the
Texas coast to the South Plains.
Winter temperatures may limit
growth in the extreme northern
panhandle of Texas and Western
Oklahoma, although established
stands of the grass have survived
temperatures of -18 degrees Fahr-
enheit, Dahl said.'
Kleingrass is best adapted to
soil textures of medium to clay
with 15-30 inches of annyal rain-
fall, It spreads from seed u
short rhizomes or by rooir me
nodes wton left in mc:st:
Seedidg is done i. h* ring
after danger of frost or • i late
summer to early fall to allow
seedling establishment' before
frosts.
Kleingrass seed has a period of
dormancy during which seed viab-
ility increases.
In comparisons between Bell
Rhodesgrass and Kleingrass. heif-
ers grazing Rhodesgrass ate less
and their conversion of grass to
beef was less than for animals
grazing Kleingrass. Average gain
per steer per care on Kleingrass in
South Texas was approximately
1.42 pounds per day. Maximun
gaing on Kleingrass occured in
early and mid-summer.
Research so far shows that
Kleingrass is easier to digest than
tohosagrass, side oats grama,
Texas winter grass, buffalo grass
and weeds and is preferred by
cattle to side oats grama or Bell
Rhodesgrass, Dahl said. 0!
In mixed plantings of Kleingrass
and side oats grama or side-by-
side plantings of Kleingrass and
Bell Rhodesgrass, cattle returned
to graze the short Kleingrass
regrowth rather than grazing the
other grasses.
“Because livestock prefer Klein-
grass, it should be planted in pure
stands,” Dahl mrid.
Dahl pointed out, though, that
in the Edward’s Platan aad
Rolling Plains areas of Tana,
researchers have reported eases of
photoserisitization or “bih head” hi
sheep and goats. Moot of the
problems have arisen wftfe1

•the disease will usually try ta net

searchers are unsure whether tha
disease was caused by the grass or
a fungus or other disease aa the
grass.
At this time, only one variety of
Kleingrass, Selection 75, le being
sold.
Because of recent
there appears to be a 1
seed, according to Dahl,
prices are approzimateiy 1549 par

shortage may drive tha prise
higher.
