Performance of Cuba OM-22 grass in the Peruvian dr

28/10/2025
The study compares three sowing methods (furrows, continuous seeding, and broadcasting) of the Cuba OM-22 hybrid grass in the dry tropics of Peru, evaluating biomass, initial establishment, survival, and forage nutritional composition. The results show significant differences in yield and nutritional quality depending on the method applied, providing useful evidence for improving forage practices in arid zones of the country (Vásquez et al., 2025)
