Evaluation of Three Urochloa Hybrid Cultivars in Different Agroecological Zones of the South‐Kivu and Tanganyika Provinces, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), feed scarcity is listed among the challenges constraining livestock production. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and farmer preference of three hybrid Urochloa cultivars (Cayman, Cobra, and Mulato‐II) and the local Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) in South‐Kivu and ...
