GAUCHO is a custom forage bermudagrass that provides higher dry weight yields, improved forage quality, early spring green-up, and improved cold tolerance.

Versatile

In addition, it contains improved varieties exhibiting a range in growth habit from fully erect “hay” types to strongly prostrate “grazing” types. This range in growth types enhances pasture establishment and helps naturally reduce warm season annual weed invasion.

Powered by CD-90160

GAUCHO contains CD-90160, which has topped university forage yield trials in Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Virginia and Kentucky. GAUCHO also contains Mirage, a cold tolerant, leafy and highly nutritious seeded bermudagrass and another aggressively stoloniferous cultivar chosen for improved soil stabilization and erosion control during early establishment.
