The recommendation of the forage grass should be carried out by a technical responsible through the analysis of various factors of the property, such as climatic conditions, sowing period, region, soil type and fertility, implementation technology, species and animal category, management, and several others.
MG18 Aries II
Due to its excellent nutritional quality, palatability, and medium size, it has a wide suitability for various categories and species of animals, being recommended for all stages of milk and meat production, as well as for horses, goats, and sheep.
MG11 Tijuca
It is recommended for poorly drained soils and of medium to low fertility, thus being a good option to replace Humidicola in these areas. Compared to Humidicola, it has the advantage of presenting better nutritional quality and the seeds not having dormancy.
MG7 Tupã
It is a forage recommended for soils with medium to low fertility, shallow and also gravelly soils. It is a great option for drier regions.
MG12 Paredao
The Paredao grass stands out for its excellent forage production and nutritional quality, being recommended for milk and meat production in the stages of breeding, rearing, and fattening. It is suitable for high-fertility soils, corrected and fertilized, in an intensive rotational grazing system with resting intervals of 25-28 days. It can also be used for silage.
MG13 Braúna
Braúna is recommended for soils with medium to high fertility. The more prostrate growth of its tussock (decumbent), its thinner stems, and good regrowth facilitate the management of this grass, in addition to the good soil coverage.
Atlas
Recommended for high fertility soils. Due to its good tolerance to soil aluminum, it has a strong root system development, providing the cultivar with excellent regrowth and good adaptation to drought.
MG-5 Vitória
It is a Brachiaria with excellent potential for forage production (up to 18 t/ha/year of dry matter). It is recommended for soils of medium to high fertility. It has tolerance to poorly drained soils or short-term flooding.
Capim Elefante Paraiso
It is the first seed-propagated hybrid of elephant grass. A cultivar with high potential for forage production (up to 50 t/ha/year of dry matter). Recommended for high-fertility soils, corrected and fertilized.
MG 4
Recommended for soils of medium fertility for breeding, rearing, and fattening of cattle, as well as for milk production. Can be used for direct grazing and haymaking.
Dictyoneura (Llanero)
Recommended for medium to low fertility soils, sandy, acidic, and with excess moisture.
Andropogon
It is a forage grass recommended for soils with medium to low fertility, acidity, shallowness, and even gravel. Recommended for cattle in breeding, rearing, and fattening phases, as well as for horses, sheep, and goats in drier climates.
Aruana
It is a forage with good nutritional quality recommended for cattle, sheep, horses, and goats.
Brizantha cv. Marandu

Humidícola (Quicuio)
Recommended for soils with medium to low fertility and in areas with waterlogging or poor drainage (such as the Pantanal).
Massai
Medium-sized Panicum. It is recommended for soils of medium fertility, for breeding, rearing, and fattening cattle, and for milk production. It can be used for horses, however, accompanied by mineral supplementation and proper pasture management.
Milheto
A tropical climate forage recommended for medium to high fertility soils. It can be used in crop rotation (green manure and cover crop) and in animal feed, through direct grazing, silage, or hay.
Miyagui
Miyagui is a tufted, erect-growing plant with a perennial cycle, medium to tall stature (up to 2.50m tall), with intense basal tillering. The stem has waxiness, and the leaves are dark green in color, reaching up to 120 cm and 5 cm wide.
Mombasa
