BRS Paiaguás, from the B. brizantha group, was launched by Embrapa in 2013. With high production capacity, this perennial grass has excellent quality and nutritional value as forage in the dry season. With early flowering and easy desiccation, its use is well indicated in crop-livestock integration.
