Stylo Hamata –SunShine 11
Stylosanthes : is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae and contains numerous highly important pasture and forage species. Very leafy. Species within the genus have many properties that make them valuable forage species. They are capable of nitrogen fixation and are capable of improving soil fertility in addition to providing high protein stock feed. The genus is also noted for its ability to extract phosphorus from soils where it is not available to other species. Seeds are hard and long lived leading to high soil seed banks and rapid recovery following fire or heavy grazing. Seed survives passage through the gut of grazing animals and is dispersed widely in this manner allowing for rapid dispersal. Many species are adapted to hot, dry climates and are drought resistant
  • High quality feed
  • Readily eaten by all stock
  • Suited to grazing and cutting
  • Drought tolerant
  • Early season growth in some lines

PEARL MILLET – BIG BOSS 201
PM –BIG BOSS 201 : is a medium – tall stay green bajra hybrid having thick canopy of leaves with a long gap between flag leaf and ear head. It has open ,non pigmented nodes with pubescence on upper nodes.The ear head is compact,non bristled,long cylindrical with pointed tip.The upper lead sheath is pubescent
BIG BOSS 201 is mostly grown as a grain crop, being the staple food in those parts of tropical Africa and India that are too hot, dry and sandy for sorghum production. It is also used for grazing, green chop and silage, and, with appropriate management, for hay. Whole grains are fed to poultry and livestock, and the straw is used for bedding, thatching, fencing and fuel
