The Potentials of Rhodes Grass (Chloris Gayana Kunth) as Drought Resistant Perennial Forage Grass in Nigeria | Biomedgrid

Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) being one of the improved pasture species in Nigeria has been increasingly cultivated over the last few years in the country due to its high dry matter yield, favourable economics of cultivation, and superiority over other perennial forage grasses. Base on this fact, there is need to understand fully the potentials of the plant. The major objective of this paper is to evaluate the potentials of Rhode grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) in Nigeria.
