Desho grass is established by planting tillered cuttings. It establishes easily with little soil moisture. It is a perennial herbaceous grass which has massive fibrous root system that anchors the plant to the bind. It provides better cover to the bund and establishes agressively. The growth is upright with a growth potential of 90-120 cm depending on the fertility of the soil and regenerates quickly. It can grow and mature (ready for harvesting) at least once in a month and it requires only one seasontime rain to cover the whole bund.
Purpose of the Technology: The purpose of Desho grass is to stablize the bund and provide palatable grass for livestock.
Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: Desho grass can be established/regenerate by tiller splitting and planting. The soil should be moist during establishment of Desho grass.
Natural / human environment: Desho grass can grow at 1500-2800 m asl and its best performs at an altitude of 1700-2800m asl.
