Body

The season of active growth and water use by warm-season grasses is about five months, May through September, compared with seven to eight months for cool-season grasses. There was less water in the soil in midspring each year under cool-season than under warm-season grasses. Consequently, the cool-season pastures suffered from midsummer drought more often than did warm-season pastures.
