LAREDO Buffelgrass(Pennisetum ciliaris L.)
Laredo buffelgrass is a highly nutritious grass and is considered excellent for pasture in hot, dry areas and is valued for its production of palatable forage and intermittent grazing during droughty periods especially in dry land areas.
It is easy to cultivate and low cost of establishment, comparatively high value and yield, extreme drought tolerance, stand persistence, and tolerance to crop pests, overgrazing and trampling by livestock. It is cultivated for permanent pastures. The only disease problem has been leaf blight (Pyricularia grisea). But the hybrid, LAREDO was bred to be resistant to this disease and none has ever been detected in the recently developed LARADO buffelgrass.
