1 PLANTING GUIDE TO GRASSES AND LEGUMES for Forage and Wildlife in Georgia Reviewed by Dennis W. Hancock, PhD. Prepared by R. Dewey Lee, PhD. This planting guide will help producers establish grasses and legumes commonly grown in Georgia. Although information is given for particular species, it should not be taken as a recommendation to grow that species. Not all of the plant species grown in Georgia are recommended by the University of Georgia. Abbreviations in this chart are footnoted. This chart does not replace the need to obtain additional information for good management practices. Consult current reports, bulletins and information for specific recommendations. Specific bulletins or reports are mentioned in the remarks section. Start with high quality. is available for most recommended crops. Get the most from your soil by testing your soil to determine nutrient need. Contact the county Extension office for information on soil sampling. Fertilize and lime according to soil test results. Plant at the proper depth in a good bed when soil temperatures and moisture are best. Use the correct ing rate per acre. For high yields maintain soil fertility and control s, insects and diseases. Harvest the appropriate time with properly adjusted equipment. Protect quality by proper handling and storage.
