Rhodes grass thrives in a wide range of soil conditions, from sandy to clay soils, and is very drought-tolerant once established.

It is commonly used as grazing pasture for livestock, hay production, and erosion control.

The grass provides good-quality forage when managed properly, though its nutritional value can vary based on the growing conditions and the stage of growth when it's harvested.

Rhodes grass seeds are relatively small and are commonly sown in pastures for grazing.

It's tolerant of heat, drought, and moderate salinity, making it suitable for regions with challenging climates.
