• High yielding and palatable perennial grass
• Distinctive bluish leaves with prominent white mid rib
• Tolerates saline soils, waterlogging, drought conditions & has some tolerance to frost
• Also tolerates heavy black clays and melon hole country

• Taller
• Later maturing
• More suited to heavier soils

• Tetraploid type
• Remains leafier over summer
• Needs higher fertility soils

• Intermediate in maturity (between American and Biloela)
• Intermediate in plant height (between American and Biloela)
• Suited to light or medium texture soils

• Broader and darker green leaf
• More robust root system
• Ability to grow longer into the season

• Persistent and vigorous growing perennial
• Low growing perennial with stoloniferous growth habit
• Widely adapted to tropics and sub-tropics and grows best at 30⁰ - 35⁰c with 1,500mm annual rainfall condition

• Diploid
• Finer leaves and stems
• Persists under low fertility

• Very leafy with high tiller density with fine, soft, pliable leaves
• Responds rapidly to rainfall
• Significantly higher biomass production than Gatton panic in most WA trials
• Highly palatable and well eaten by both sheep and cattle
• Excellent persistence under extended dry conditions (Northern Agricultural Region WA) and over winter (south coast WA)

(Megathyrsus maximus)

• High quality feed
• Unrivalled persistence
• Excellent production potential

• Tall, stoloniferous, upright growth habit (tussock)
• Leafy grass very suitable for cut-and-carry, rotationally grazing or set stocking
• Suitable for all livestock types, including horses

• Suitable for environments generally considered outside the normal adaptation range for many Brachiaria species
• Available for sales outside the Americas
• Will tolerate acid soils of high aluminum

• Highly productive, robust tufted perennial that is palatable and persistent
• Well adapted to inland environments with low rainfall and winter frosts
• Good drought, fire and cold tolerance

• Vigorous growing perennial once established with broad and light greenish leaves
• Has a tendency to branch and form roots at lower nodes
• Leaves are short and clustered at the nodes

• Persistent and vigorous growing perennial
• Widely adapted to tropics and sub-tropics
• Suitable for grazing and erosion control

• Flattened and often reddish-coloured leaf bases
• Remains persistent once established
• Very palatable to livestock

• Earlier maturing and shorter than Gayndah or Biloela
• The heads has light purple coloration and thus distinguishable from these two varieties
• It is more suited to the light and medium texture soils
