About Teff
Teff is a warm-season annual grass from Africa that is gaining popularity in the U.S. as a summer hay or grazing alternative. It produces high quality, high yielding forage in summer months when cool season grasses lose productivity. With nutritive values comparative to Timothy, Teff can yield 4-8 tons/Acre depending on the length of the growing season.
Uses include:
- High-quality hay for horses and livestock
- Green manure
- Cover crop
Plant in spring after risk of frost when soil temps reach 60 degrees. Planting depth should be no deeper than 1/8-1/4 inch in a firm seedbed. Nitrogen should be applied per year, split-applied after each cutting for good production by later cuttings.
Varieties available: SPR BRAND, COATED SEED
