Synopsis Forage production of Pensacola bahiagrass was increased by nitrogen fertilization up to 200 pounds of N per acre. Six‐week intervals between harvests resulted in higher yields than 1‐, 2‐, 3‐, or 4‐week intervals. The leaf‐to‐seed stalk ratio was not affected by either the N fertilization or clipping interval.
