Selected Seeds Rhodes Grass Reclaimer Coated 20kg - Per Kg

Reclaimer Rhodes Grass is an extremely palatable, spreading, perennial sub-tropical grass. Ideally suited to cultivation in tropical and subtropical areas, it can be used as green chop or hay. Reclaimer Rhodes Grass grown under irrigation can provide excellent dry matter yields of up to 2 tonnes per cut.

Reclaimer is early maturing, erect, warm season, highly stoloniferous perennial Rhodes grass that has retained the attributes of Fine cut but with increased stolon density and number of growing points giving increased plant recruitment that will form a dense mat over the ground more rapidly than other varieties.

Because of its strong creeping habit Reclaimer binds the soils, providing good erosion control. In addition Reclaimer has increased dry matter production, (up to 20% over Katambora), with early uniform flowering, and dense growth once established.

Bred for increased production in saline areas. Trials have indicated that established Reclaimer Rhodes will remain productive in saline conditions of between 4 to 10 deci Siemens, (dS/m), per meter and could survive in conditions up to 20 dS/m. As an establishing plant Reclaimer may struggle to establish where sown into areas that are affected with surface salt.
