| Sumario: | Acroceras macrum (Nile grass) is a forage
grass native to sub-Saharan Africa, and
recommended for its good adaptation to wet
soils with poor drainage and waterlogging
tendency of NE Argentina (NEA). Its greatest
limitation for commercial use is the
strenuousness to obtain fertile seed for large scale sowing. Due to the lack of commercial
seed, producers propagate it by manually
planting rhizomes. This leads to genetically
highly uniform stands. |
