Bamboo grass Morphological characteristics of

Bamboo grass is a perennial plant with rhizomes and stolons. The base of the culm is often geniculate, the leaf sheath is glabrous or only the sheath mouth is sparsely pubescent, and it is mostly clustered across the base of the stolon and culm. The culm is sparse and shorter than the internodes, the ligule is short, and the base is rounded, Apex obtuse, both surfaces glabrous or base sparsely pubescent, margin with small bristles and rough, culm leaves short. Panicle erect, oblong, purple-brown, branched weakly, erect or obliquely ascending, usually several branches in whorls attached to each node of the main axis, sessile spikelets cylindrical-lanceolate, gradually above the middle Narrow, obtuse apex, about 4 mm long, with a sharp and descending 4-6 mm long basal plate, initially fused with the top of the cob, the top of the basal plate is covered with rust-colored pubescent hairs.

2. Efficacy and function of bamboo grass

The suitable soil types are wide, and the growth is best when the soil pH value is 6.0 to 7.0. Drought-resistant, moisture-resistant, with a certain resistance to trampling, but not cold-resistant.
