Siambasa® Grass It belongs to the grass family, more specifically to the Panicum Maximum species, with which we achieve an excellent relationship between production and quality . It is an excellent alternative both in the agricultural and livestock sectors given that it combines a great forage yield with excellent nutritional quality , reaching high protein values and excellent percentages of fiber, energy and digestibility.
Another fact to take into account is its easy handling since we can pack during times of high temperatures without losing quality due to leaf fall. Siambasa grass is a crop that is 80% leafy in its composition, it can be used for hay, silage or direct grazing.

Preparation of the land
Sowing and establishment
- It is important to always cover all the seeds in the sowing, to avoid that they when they are on the surface of the soil do not dehydrate depending on the high temperatures. Use of the compactor roller that improves the quality of the sowing according to the uniform acceleration of the germination of the seeds.
- For excessively sandy soils we recommend the use of the compactor roller before and after planting.
Weed control
For the control of broadleaf we will use in post emergency we will use a combination of two herbicides in a single treatment from 30 days of crops, in case of much premature invasion of weeds the treatment can be advanced from 3 leaves. The active substances would be:
Fluroxipir + sulfonylureas (tribenuron methyl, tifensulfuron methyl, etc.)
Fertilization
Irrigation
