Finecut Rhodes Grass

 

Finecut Rhodes Grass is a new cultivar bred primarily for improved grazing and hay production.  Based on flowering records and field assessments (leafiness, stem diameter, disease resistance, productivity). Finecut Rhodes Grass was bred from Katambora types.

 

Ideal for Hay

Finecut Rhodes Grass is a leafy, extremely fine stemmed, early flowering diploid cultivar with improved dry matter production. It is a summer growing grass which spreads rapidly to form a dense mat, giving quick ground cover on bare soil. The creeping habit helps bind bare soil together and combat soil erosion. Finecut is adaptable to a wide range of soils from light sandy soils to heavy texture soils. This wide adaption and ability to tolerate salty conditions makes Finecut the ideal choice for varied conditions.
