Abstract

‘Bonanza’ big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman.) (Reg. no. CV-13, PI 641701) was released in May 2004 by the USDA-ARS and the Agricultural Research Division, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Nebraska. It is a broadly adapted perennial warm-season grass cultivar that produces forage with high in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and improved animal gains in comparison to its parent cultivar when utilized by beef cattle in well-managed grazing systems. Bonanza was tested as Pawnee C3.
