Rhodes Grass Seeds

Diploid Rhodes Grass

Diploid Rhodes grass establishes and persists well, even at low fertility, having a higher tolerance for drought and a rapid growth rate compared to tetraploid Rhodes grass species. This species has moderate cold tolerance, being less affected by frost than tetraploid Rhodes grass types.

Tetraploid Rhodes Grass

Tetraploid Rhodes grass performs and persists best on soils of higher fertility and will respond exceptionally to higher input (fertiliser/irrigation). They often have higher quality attributes compared to diploid species. Tetraploids are sensitive to day length and flowering occurs in response to shortening day length.
