Panicum maximum or Panicum miliaceum — same product?

Different species. Panicum maximum (guinea grass / Tanzania / Mombaça) is the perennial tropical pasture grass. Panicum miliaceum (proso millet) is the annual cereal grain. Specify by Latin binomial on the PO; "panicum" alone is ambiguous. Most Gulf and African forage buyers want P. maximum; bird-feed and gluten-free grain buyers want P. miliaceum.

Mombaça or Tanzania — which Brazilian cultivar?

Mombaça is taller (up to 2.5 m), higher biomass, suited to cut-and-carry dairy. Tanzania is medium-tall, better palatability, suited to rotational grazing. Both are Embrapa releases from CIAT germplasm. Brazilian-origin certified seed (Embrapa-tagged) is the global premium tier; Indian / Pakistani re-multiplied lots are 30–40% cheaper.

What is the typical seeding rate?

6–10 kg/ha for pure stands; 4–6 kg/ha as part of a multi-species pasture mix. Sow shallow (1–2 cm) and ensure soil moisture for first 14 days germination. Stand persists 4–6 years under proper grazing management. A 20 MT FCL covers 2,000–3,300 ha at the higher rate.

Can panicum tolerate dry conditions?

Panicum maximum is moderately drought-tolerant — productive on 600+ mm annual rainfall. Below 500 mm rainfall, switch to Cenchrus / buffel grass which tolerates 300–400 mm. Saudi southern highland and central pivots run irrigated panicum profitably; African savanna belts (Tanzanian pastures, Brazilian Cerrado) run rainfed panicum.

How long is the seed shelf life?

Panicum seed has 70–80% germination at harvest, declining to 50–60% after 18 months at 25 °C. Specify germination date on the COA; we reject lots with germination < 70% pre-loading. For long-haul shipments to East Africa or South America, hermetic-bagged storage at origin extends viability 6–9 months versus standard PP bag.
