Unmatched Yields
Juncao grass can produce up to 450 tons of green material per hectare annually under irrigation. With multiple cuts per year, you’ll have a steady supply of nutrient-rich forage that contains 9-17% protein, far higher than the 4-8% found in other grasses. This high-protein content supports dairy cattle in producing up to 45% more milk.
Cut-and-Carry for Better Management
Our recommended cut-and-carry system ensures the grass is cut, baled, and fed to livestock, protecting the crop from grazing damage. Each hectare can produce four cuts annually, with minimal labour needed for cutting and baling.
Soil and Land Protection
With its deep root system, Juncao grass helps prevent soil erosion and improves water retention, making it ideal for farms prone to runoff or on slopes. You’ll protect your land while increasing your output.
Mushroom Cultivation
Looking for additional income? Juncao grass is an excellent substrate for mushroom farming, especially for oyster mushrooms. Use it to diversify your income and stabilize profits year-round.
