Local name: Kikuyu grass
It is a grass which normally grows at high altitude. It is a perennial with strong system of underground runners which quickly root at the joints. The propagation is by root and stem cuttings. The normal yield of the grass is 300-350 quintals per hectare.
Nutritive value
Kikuyu grass is more than a maintenance quality fodder (protein 10-12%) and is thus suitable for limited milk production.
