Abstract

Because the field-plot techniques used on ’Coastal’ bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] have been empirically transferred from temperate species research, our objective was to define an optimum sampling-unit size for this species. .Optimum size of sampling unit was evaluated under s~x managements: three heights of available forage (avg. 3.75, 7.50, and 11.25 cm), each maintained by grazing or clipping. Three samplings were made on each treatment, corresponding to early, mid, and late-summer harvest dates. The basic sampling unit was a 20-cm square.
