Feeding Grass

Some introduction about Napier Grass

Napier grass is also called as Elephant Grass due to its tallness and vigorous vegetative growth. The plants tiller freely and a single clump may produce more than 50 tillers under favourable climatic and soil conditions. Unfortunately, the grass coarse-textured, the leaf blade and sheaths hairy, leaf margins sharply serrated and stems less juicy and fibrous. In 1953, a cross was made in India between Bajra which is more succulent, leafy, fine-textured, palatable, fast growing and drought resistant and Napier to combine these qualities with its high yielding potential. 
Hybrid Napier is a perennial grass which can be retained on field for 2-3 years. Compared to Napier grass, Hybrid Napier produces numerous leaves. It has larger leaves, softer and less persistent hairs of leaf blades and sheaths and less sharp leaf edges. The stems are also less fibrous than Napier. The tillers are more numerous and grow faster
