Oasis Teff Grass is a fine-stemmed, vigorous, highly-palatable, warm season annual grass.  It can produce high quality hay in a relatively short growing season. Oasis Teff is comparable to Timothy and Orchardgrass, making it an excellent forage for horses and other livestock.  Oasis Teff Grass is a medium maturing variety that is widley adaptable with excellent production under irrigation or natural rainfall (irrigation will be required in areas without necessary rainfall).  The seeds are small infact they are 1 millimeter in diameter and need to be planted 1/4 inch deep into a firm seed bed -fields should be rolled after planting to make sure the seed bed is firm. When producing hay, cut before maturity for optimal forage quality (approx. 50 days after planting depending on temps) seed head should not be present.  Leave 3-4 inch stubble height for proper regrowth. Oasis Teff Grass requires a frost free growing season, so seed must be planted in the spring after the risk of frost has past. This is a excellent choice in your forage crop rotation. This is great choice as far a a forage crop that does not require a lot of management.

Seed is raw not treated and should be planted at 10-12 lbs per acre.
