Mulato II is a non-GMO, fast-growing three-way hybrid forage grass (Urochloa ruziziensis × U. decumbens × U. brizantha) it thrives in warm-season and transition zones (including Florida sandy soils), prefers well-drained sites and 6+ hours of sun, tolerates drought, reaches up to 9 ft, and is excellent for pasture, cattle forage, hay, green manure and erosion control. It germinates in 7–14 days under optimal conditions, should be planted 1/4–3/8" (no deeper than 3/4") in spring or summer when nights are ≥65°F, produces high biomass with cuttings every 40–45 days in wet season (60–70 days in cool season), offers 14–21% crude protein and good digestibility, and has delivered 0.4–0.6 kg/day weight gains in young heifers at 4–6/ha. Great for chop and drop, agroforestry, meat and milk production for livestock.

 

Mulato II grass is the newest alternative to improve productivity in semi-intensive meat and milk systems. Recommended for regions that have acid soils, medium and low fertility, prolonged periods of drought, high temperatures and high relative humidity and mainly where there is a risk of severe attacks of various species of spittlebugs
