Callide Rhodes grass is an easy to establish, tall, leafy, late maturing, quality tetraploid Rhodes grass suited to subtropics and coastal regions east of the range. Compared to a diploid Rhodes grass, Callide has good palatability and broader leaves with a later flowering date that is influenced by shorter day lengths (<12hrs) with some plants flowering intermittingly. Given the chance to recover, Callide Rhodes will handle a heavy grazing.
Callide Rhodes adapts to well structured clay loam soil in saline conditions but is not suited to heavy clay soil. Highly responsive to P and N, Callide Rhodes will maintain its leafy quality and strong production with access to good nutrition.
