Abstract

Domestic Grass has a very important role as green fodder ruminants in Indonesia. Public farms are still subsistence, most of the feed given is grass and just an effort to improve and develop the domestic grass into productive crop cultivation is still very limited The purpose of this study is to identify the types of domestic grasses and its potential as green feed The method used is survey to collect all types ofgrass available, then captured and maintained using the earnings material to observe the growth and response to fertilization. Study the literature and checking the herbarium collections at PUSLIT BIOLOGI LIPI to identifY the grass species. There are 16 kinds of grass that grows in Tanjung Bunga areas, for example: Axonopus compressus (Sw.) P. Beauv., Brachiaria subquadripara (Trio.) A. Hitchc., Cenchrus echinatus L., Chrysopogon aciculatus (Retz.) Trio., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop., Eleustne indica (L.) Gaertn., Eragrostis amabilis (L.) Wight & Arnott ex Nees,., Imperata cylindrica (L.) P. Beauv.,1schaemum muticum L., Oryza sativa L., Panicum repens L., Paspalum commersonii Lam., Paspalum conjugatum PJ Bergius, Rhynche1ytnun roseum (Nees) Stapf& Hubb. Ex Bews. and the Saccharum spontaneum L. Ischaemum muticum L. and Panicum repens L. grasses dominate the beach. lschaemum muticum L. dominate in the North West burnt side while Panicum repens L. in the East Both grass rhizome growth is characterized by a very thick and extends in all directions. Both grasses have a good response with fertilization. While other grasses, grow in small amounts and spread. A conclusion of this study is the grass Ischaemum muticum L. and Panicum repens L. has a good prospect to be developed as grass cultivation in coastal areas.
