C. plectostachyus is a grass species palatable to all classes of livestock and thus it is cultivated as a forage, fodder, and pasture grass, grazed or used for hay or silage (Cook et al., 2005). C. plectostachyus can also be identified by the small glumes, rarely as long as one- third of the spikelet (FAO, 2015).

With more than 10,000 species, the grass family, Poaceae, is one of the largest families of flowering plants. In the Northern hemisphere, C. plectostachyus’ yields are highest during the rainy season (June to October), decline during the dry season (February to May) and are lowest in winter (November to March) due to low temperatures and short photoperiods (Yong-Ángel et al., 2012; Heuzé et al., 2015). http://www.fao.org/ag/agp/agpc/doc/Gbase/Default.htm, Heuzé V, Tran G, Salgado P, Lebas F, 2015.
