Kikuyu Grass: A Valuable Salt‐Tolerant Fodder Grass

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2006
Abstract The turf grass Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. (kikuyu grass) is one of the candidate plants for utilization and reclamation of salinized areas. The capability of kikuyu grass to grow under saline conditions was tested during 6 months, under various irrigation treatments (tap water control, 80‐mM, 150‐mM, 200‐mM, 240‐mM NaCl).

Comparison of ryegrass and kikuyu grass pastures under mowing

New Zealand Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1977
Abstract A field experiment at Kaikohe compared the performance of perennial ryegrass- and kikuyu grass-based swards separately and in combination over 4 years. The combination of ryegrass and kikuyu produced higher yields and a more uniform seasonal distribution. However, when either grass was sown separately, white clover and volunteer species tended

Nutritive value of Kikuyu grass

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1974
Abstract Six groups of six wether hoggets were fed as a sole diet either one of two cuts of Kikuyu grass or a pelleted grassmeal — barleymeal ration ad lib. or restricted levels of intake in a comparative slaughter trial. Sheep eating the pelleted grassmeal — barleymeal ration were superior in terms of energy and nitrogen retention and wool growth to ...

Resistance to yellow sugarcane aphid: Screening kikuyu and other grasses

Crop Protection, 2007
Abstract Kikuyu grass, Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. ex Chiov., is an important pasture species in many subtropical areas. Infestations of yellow sugarcane aphid (YSA), Sipha flava (Forbes) (Homoptera: Aphididae), have reduced kikuyu forage production in Hawaii. A novel method was developed to screen cultivars of kikuyu, and species of other forage
