Tropical Grass Seeds

Tropical Grasses are widely adapted to northern Australian pasture systems. In most northern pasture systems, unimproved or native grasses have a very limited window of feed quality (4-6 weeks) after the start of the growing season. These species quickly loose quality as they turn reproductive with protein, energy and overall digestibility dropping rapidly. Improved Tropical cultivars have been bred and selected for significant increase in attributes to increase productivity and provide feed quality for longer.

• Significant improvement in Feed Quality
• Seasonal Length & Seasonal Yield
• Unmatched DM yield capacity

C4 grasses are scientifically proven to be more water use efficient compared to their C3 (Temperate) counterparts. Improved leaf production and plant water use efficiency in C4 species is due to both higher photosynthetic rates per unit leaf area and lower stomatal conductance. This allows them to have not only active growth at higher temperatures, but adaptations that reduce water loss from stomata during active photosynthesis.

Tropical Grasses are known for their toughness, and resilience which is matched to the harshness experienced in the northern Australian pastoral zone.
