Answer Details
Guinea grass can be propagated mainly by roots and seeds. Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) is a tropical grass widely used for grazing livestock in many parts of the world. It is known for its high yield, high protein content, and tolerance to a range of environmental conditions. Guinea grass can be propagated by root splits and seeds, making it relatively easy to establish in pastures.
