Crabgrass is a high quality summer annual forage that is well adapted to the southern U.S. Although most often regarded as a weed, it is a valuable source of forage in many grazing and haying systems. 'Red River' was developed from a hairy crabgrass species Digitaria ciliaris at the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation in Ardmore, OK. 'Red River' was selected and released based on its improved forage production and forage quality. Its hardy nature combines with its exceptional palatability to result in a forage with higher nutritional value than other annual or perennial forages.
Red River Crabgrass is contains 34% seed coating.
