Is it a cultivated fodder grass? Close up pl. If cultivated, it could be Setaria sphacelata.

Hello Manoj ji

Thanks for your feedback.

It was found in the Aarey grasslands in Mumbai.

Aarey grasslands belong to the Maharashtra Dairy (cattle are reared there).

However, I am not sure whether this grass was cultivated or growing wild.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards

'Is it a cultivated fodder grass? Close up pl. If cultivated, it could be Setaria sphacelata.'

In response to Manoj ji's above request please find close of of the same grass species for definitive confirmation.
Not sure if it is cultivated.
Apologies for posting 18 months after request date but accessed this thread only today.
