Studies have determined that the plant has a level of protein and digestibility equal to the Leucaena. It has a high protein and its use for low forage species and growth especially in heavy soils is recommended. The dry matter production is about 7.6 ton/ha/cut, in Hawaii can produce up to 23 ton/ha/cut and in Australia up to 70 ton/ha/ year. Hawaii plants are mechanically cut to a height of 5 to 7.5 cm. ground. Cutting intervals 91 days to obtain…
