Production Update: Relative Feed Value (RFV): Relative feed value (RFV) is a calculated index of forage quality that is very useful in comparing different types of forages. RFV provides an indication of digestibility of a forage as does total digestible nutrients (TDN), but also includes intake potential. RFV is calculated from both ADF and NDF, whereas TDN is calculated from ADF only. Insect Management: Several species of Empoasca
leafhoppers ( Weed Control: Established Bermudagrass (picture)
can be controlled with multiple applications of the highest rates of Select/Prisim
or Poast. One application will often result in suppression for 3-5 weeks
after which the grass will produce regrowth and need to be treated again.
