TYPE: Warm season perennial

ADAPTATION: Across the southern 1/3 of the U.S. from California to Virginia. Particularly well suited to sandy soils but will thrive in most well drained loam soils.

USES: Cheyenne II CAN be used for both grazing and hay production throughout the spring and summer months. Under good management practices it will produce excellent quantities of high quality forage.

NUTRITION: With good management it can produce Crude Protein levels of 8-16%; TDN of 55%. Nutritional quality is a function of environmental conditions and management practices.

PLANTING:

• Rate: 15 lbs. per acre drilled or broadcast.
• Depth: Plant no deeper than 1/4 inch. On heavy sols plant to 1/8 inch... lighter soils 1/4 inch maximum.
• Date: Late spring through early summer when soil temperatures are 60-65° F or above.

PLANTING MANAGEMENT: Plow and cultipack to develop a firm seedbed. Firmness is indicated by a heel print no more than 1/8" deep in the soil. Broadcast seed and cultipack again to insure good seed-soil contact. Lime soil to 6.0 and follow soil test for N-P-K. When new plants begin to run (spread), apply 50-60 lbs. of nitrogen per acre.

GRAZING & MANAGEMENT: Apply 20-30 lbs./acre nitrogen at planting time.  To establish, delay grazing or hay cutting until forage is 8" to 10" tall. Do not graze or clip for hay shorter than 2". Rotate animals more often during periods of drought stress. During establishment, weed and crabgrass competition must be controlled by clipping (mowing) or flash grazing.

FERTILIZATION: After the stand is established, apply 70-100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre after each cutting of hay. If grazed, apply up to 150 lbs./acre a year in split applications throughout summer. Last fertilizer application each year should be done 4 to 6 weeks before a killing frost to increase cold tolerance.
