Abstract
During 2006 to 2008,a regional trial of Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv.Taiwan,bred by Guangxi institute of animal science,was carried out in three different ecological zones in Nanning,Baise and Changsha,using [(Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott)×(P.americanum × P.purpureum)] cv.Guimu No.1 as control.The results showed that Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv.Taiwan grew fast,had wide adaptability,cold resistance.Average hay yield of Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv.Taiwan was 46351.32~53903.84 kg/hm2,increased by 10.02%~23.73% compared with control [(Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott)×(P.americanum × P.purpureum)] cv.Guimu No.1(41919.12~44137.66 kg/hm2).The quality of the grass was soft,protein content(10.5%) increased by 9.4% compared with control.Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv.Taiwan was an excellent forage.
