Description

Georgia-5 tall fescue was developed for use as a permanent, cool-season pasture grass on the Coastal Plain. The results of two field plot experiments and observations from additional small-plot plantings and 40 acres of pasture for grazing experiments at the Rosepine Research Station provide the basis for this discussion of Georgia-5 tall fescue establishment.
