That’s not bracharia my dear. It’s some other indigenous grass specie in Uganda.

[@shybee1354]

We have many varieties of bracharia and this is one of it.

[@olaoduniyi]

How do we plant it from seed? And what is the protein content?

[@shybee1354]

I planted from root splits 50cm apart and 25cm within rows.u can as swell plant the seeds by covering it with light soil or sow the seeds in a nursery bed and transplant the seedlings after 6weeks
