Andropogon grass is an excellent grass that is generally used more often. It is most commonly seen in the cerrado regions, in pastures located in the cerrado regions of Brazil. It is a grass that grows in a cespitose manner and adapts very well to lands with low fertility, being a little more specific in sandy lands, gravel lands and also located in regions where it rains a little less. And generally, most cattle ranchers, some like Andropogon grass a lot, others not so much, precisely because it is a difficult grass to manage. It is a grass that sometimes happens, it can go too far and reach very high levels of height, requiring mowing or management services in which you need to place lots of heavier animals, large lots, which can sometimes end up sacrificing animal performance, which is nothing more than correcting an error causing another error or loss. However, this is a grass that adapts very well to these conditions. It is a grass that provides a fast regrowth, it provides green pasture earlier than a grass that grows prostrate, and it is not a grass that is as demanding in terms of soil fertility and rainfall. So, when we are talking about andropogon grass, one of the most common complaints we hear about it is that it does not support cattle during the dry season, which in fact is true to a certain extent, but it is important to understand that during the rainy season it has a higher support capacity compared to other types of grass. Other types of forage, then, end up compensating for what it fails to deliver during the dry season, it ends up compensating for this during the rainy season and this is where the problems start to arise, because people do not understand this when managing pasture and simply leave the pasture with a stocking rate below what this pasture, this grass can actually support, causing the grass to reach high heights, heights above the recommended grazing height, which creates the need and demand for management with a mower, which is an expensive service. However, this is a grass that adapts very well to these conditions, it is a grass that provides a fast regrowth, it delivers green pasture earlier in relation to a grass that grows prostrate and it is not a grass that is as demanding in relation to soil fertility and rainfall volume. So, when we are talking about it, some of the most common complaints we hear about andropogon grass is that it does not support cattle during the dry season, which is actually true to a certain extent, but you need to understand that during the rainy season it has a higher support capacity compared to other types of grass, other types of forage, so it ends up compensating for what it fails to deliver during the dry season, it ends up compensating for this during the rainy season and that is where the problems start to arise, because people do not understand this when managing pasture and simply leave the pasture with a stocking rate below what this pasture, this grass can actually support, causing the grass to reach high heights, heights above the recommended grazing entry height, which creates the need and demand for management with a mower, which is an expensive service. One of the great advantages that we see in andropogon grass is its quick response to small volumes of rain in low fertility lands and this makes this pasture or farm have green grass earlier, what does this mean? The ox gaining weight earlier and the cow getting pregnant earlier and when we are talking about it also going back a little to some disadvantages.
