Brachiaria humidicola, Cv Llanero

The Llanero cultivar, or Dictyoneura, is a well-known pasture in the tropical world, especially in Colombia. Extremely resistant to the low-fertility soils of the Colombian “Llanos”, it has adapted very well to Brazil. Just like the Humidicula cultivar, a good way to plant this species is to mix its seeds with those of another brachiaria, such as B. brizantha or B. decumbens, thus ensuring rapid soil coverage and bringing forward the grazing season.
