What Sets Carcará Apart?
Carcará delivers higher forage and leaf production than traditional Panicum cultivars, with improved forage quality, greater adaptability and strong animal performance potential. It responds exceptionally well to good soil fertility and intensive production systems.

Recommended Conditions
Best suited to medium to high rainfall areas (800 mm+), Carcará performs particularly well on fertile soils and responds strongly to fertiliser applications. It can also be successfully established on sandy soils with proper nutrient management.

Management Guidelines
For optimum performance, Carcará should be managed under a rotational grazing system. Maintaining good soil fertility and grazing at the correct pasture heights will maximise productivity and pasture persistence. Graze at a height of 60 to 80 cm and remove animals when the residual height reaches 30 to 35 cm.

Why Choose Carcará?
Carcará combines superior forage production, excellent forage quality and outstanding animal performance, helping producers maximise productivity and profitability per hectare.
