The hybrid Super Napier grass is amongst the fastest growing animal fodder crops attaining a height of 2 meters in just 60 days after planting, growing to 3.5 meters in another month's time when it is ready for its first harvest.
Dubbed the ‘king of Napiers’ an acre of super Napier or Pakchong1 yields 180-200 tons of biomass in a year. After the first harvest subsequent cutting is made every 60 days four to five times a year
The grass has a healthy crude protein content of 6-18% dictated by planting conditions and management level. This is especially crucial for milk production in dairy cows.
