Bana grass is also known as the miracle grass, a hybrid variety with scientific name, Pennisetum Purpureum (Babala) X Pennisetum Americanum (napier grass). Its name Bana is derived from the acronym ‘ba’ in Babala and ‘na’ from Napier.

Its amazing growth power makes it suitable for many purposes, from tall grass hedge to fuel and fodder.

Bana grass can grow tall and dense within months in harsh, poor, dry environments and is easily propagated. Once its roots have sprouted, it doesn’t fear dry spells, that’s why bana grass is great for growing in places that are hard to irrigate. Production area can be maximize by planting bana grass in hard-to-till places or slopes. But bana grass won’t survive from cold temperature, this plant fares better in mild-to-tropical climates.
