Tifton 85 is the latest of Dr. Burton's hybrid bermudagrasses to be released. Preliminary data indicate that Tifton 85 produces greater yields and has better forage quality than Coastal bermudagrass. Currently, no data are available from fertility trials on this grass, either for yield response or for the effect of potash on stand survivability. Higher yields place greater demand on residual and applied plant nutrients, including potassium, sulfur, and chloride. Tifton 85 will be included in this K rate and source, sulfur, and N rate study.
