About Axonopus compressus (Sw.) P.Beauv.
Taxonomic Identity
Axonopus compressus (Sw.) P.Beauv. is a species of grass.
Common Agricultural and Landscaping Uses
It is commonly used as permanent pasture, groundcover, and turf in moist, low-fertility soils, especially in shaded locations.
Limitations for Fodder Systems
It tends to grow too low to the ground to be suitable for cut-and-carry systems or fodder conservation.
Turf Use for Sports Fields
Although it is not an ideal choice for this purpose, it is occasionally used for football fields, particularly fields that do not host elite competitions or that receive only low levels of maintenance.
