Cenchrus ciliaris

Cenchrus Ciliaris, commonly known as Blou Buffel or Blue Buffalo Grass, is a hardy perennial grass favoured for its resilience, high forage quality, and adaptability to dry environments. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, Blou Buffel is widely used in pasture management, erosion control, and land restoration due to its drought tolerance and quick establishment. This grass is ideal for livestock grazing, providing both nutrition and ground cover, especially in arid and semi-arid regions.

Key Features:

• Drought-Resistant: Thrives in dry, low-nutrient soils, making it suitable for arid and semi-arid areas with minimal water requirements.
• High-Quality Forage: Provides nutrient-rich grazing for cattle and other livestock, particularly valued in pastures for its palatability and digestibility.
• Effective Erosion Control: Dense, fibrous root systems stabilise soil, reducing erosion and enhancing soil health on slopes and disturbed areas.
• Quick Establishment: Rapid growth and spread allow it to provide ground cover quickly, suppressing weeds and protecting soil.
• Low Maintenance: Requires little fertilisation or upkeep once established, making it an economical and sustainable choice for large-scale planting.

Blou Buffel is a versatile, low-maintenance grass suitable for those looking to improve grazing quality, stabilise soil, and support sustainable land management in challenging environments.
