  21. Bermudagrass can be established by seed and these two:

  22. What are “sprigs”/rhizomes or “tops”/stolons? $500

  23. This type of poor grazing management causes forage waste, reduced nutritive quality, reduced tiller development, loss of legumes and less subsequent grow 5**

  24. What is undergrazing? $100 5**

  25. This is the percentage of her body weight that a mature cow can consume of fresh forage 5**

  26. What is 20%? $200 5**
