Adaptability of dwarf napiergrass to smallholders of beef cows in southern Kyushu,Japan
The northern border of the tropical grass cultivation as a perennial is located in the southern Kyushu of Japan, since the tropical grasses are inevitably suffered from the frost damage several times in a wintering season.However, the progress of aging in smallholders of beef cows needs to gain the sustainable perennial grass cultivation, instead of the annual forage crop production, typically such as maize‐Italian ryegrass cropping.Dwarf‐late (DL) napiergrass was assessed as the new promising tropical grass in Miyazaki, southern Kyushu (Ishii et al., 2005), while the adaptability of this grass to the several sites in these areas remains to be uncertain.This study was conducted to evaluate the adaptability of DL napiergrass to southern Kyushu, by cultivating this grass at several sites with different climatic conditions for 2‐5 years after establishment.
