Summary

[edit]
Description

Native, warm-season, long-lived perennial, tufted grass to 40 cm tall. One of the most widespread and common species on the Plains; extending onto the Slopes. Found on all soil types, although more common on red soils and in lightly grazed areas. High drought, moderate frost and good flood tolerance. Low to moderate grazing value. Digestibility ranges from 37-62%. Crude protein 5-13%. Produces good growth after rain from spring to autumn. Young growth is moderately palatable, but flowering plants are harsh and left ungrazed. Produces some winter growth, but this is ignored by stock if other palatable species are present. Seedling recruitment is infrequent. Can increase under light to moderate stocking rates, but is eliminated under heavy stocking.

Rest pastures when there are good prolonged summer rains to aid seedling establishment.
