How to Grow Bracharia; Mulatto 11

Practical Lesson/Guide on production of Bracharia Grass (mulatto 11), from propagation to harvesting
Main Words:
1) Bracharia Grass
2) Variety: Mulato 11
3) Propagation( done through seeds; Splits; cuttings)
4) Fertilizer program as guided by Soil Test Results

[@Agri-VenturesTV]

This grass grows well on our farm here in the Philippines.
Very satisfied with the results.
We intentionally overgrazed some of our paddocks to test it's grazing resistance, and the regrowth was excellent after 4 weeks.
We only applied fertilizer once, and after over a year, they are still green and thriving.
I just found out that this grass is introducing more nitrogen to the soil, instead of depleting them.

It's a very nice grass
