Signal grass is palatable during the vegetative growth stage, grow up to a height of about 2m First harvest planting after 75-80 days & subsequent cuts at intervals of 30-40 days. Use for pasture, silage, hay, multi-cut hybrid fodder for Animal Husbandry like Cow, Buffalo, Goat, Sheep, Poultry, Rabbit. Highly drought tolerance, high productivity, suitable for Indian climatic conditions (Anywhere in India). Perennial grass lives up to 5 years, quickly growing dense roots that go as deep as 2 m that help to prevents soil erosion, a prostrate or decumbent habit. It can be used for reclamation of lead-contaminated sites, road sides, urban areas where lead contamination is likely to have occurred & more tolerant to lead than Rhodes grass, resulting in a 50% reduction of the lead. Seeds are in nature, so root slips only good propagated material. During planting root slips, use spacing of 50 cm & 80 cm between rows not more than 15mm deep, Growing signal grass before a rice crop resulted in higher rice grain yields.
