It covers reel versus rotary mowers, ideal cutting heights around 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches, frequent light clipping, and not removing more than a third of leaf growth at once.

Advice includes side dressing with potash carriers at 10 to 25 pounds per acre if needed and relying on warm weather and soil moisture. Also warns against pasturing Sudan grass until 18 to 24 inches to avoid prussic acid poisoning, especially in drought or after frost.
