Abstract

A new high yielding guinea grass culture TNGG-5 was developed through hybridisation between Co-1 x Centenario and released as Co-2 for general cultivation in Tamil Nadu. This new variety is shade tolerant, tall growing and profusely tillering. It produces 80-100 tillers per clump and grows to a height of 275 cm. It has more number of longer and broader leaves and non lodging. It has a green fodder yield potential of 270 tonnes ha year'. The dry matter, crude protein and mineral content are higher in the new variety than Co-1.
