Semiaquatic perennial, rooting at the lower nodes and having stout culms.
Found in the tropics and subtropics throughout the world.
Said to be liked especially by buffaloes, but is also grazed by cattle even in its advanced stages of growth after the floodwater recedes.
Avg: average or predicted value; SD: standard deviation; Min: minimum value; Max: maximum value; Nb: number of values (samples) used
