Pasture species which are naturally growing are called forages while those which are cultivated are called fodder.
Rhodes Grass
Katambora
Katambora Rhodes Grass is a highly stoloniferous, versatile plant that will grow in a wide range of soil types. It displays greater drought tolerance and the ability to grow on lower fertility soils (such as spear grass country). It is an earlier flowering variety that is well suited to hay production. Katambora will cope with a wider variation in soil moisture conditions than other varieties and will cope with periodic waterlogging.
Rye Grass
Vortex
Vortex is a mid to mid-late flowering tetraploid annual ryegrass. It has high autumn/winter and early spring dry matter production. It has extremely good seedling vigour. It is a true Westerwolds type. Leaves are broad and deep green in colour. Vortex has good heat and rust tolerance.
Leafy Varieties
Alfalfa

Sorghum Sudan Grass
SS - II
Sorghum-sudangrass hybrids are unrivaled for adding organic matter to worn-out soils. These tall, fast-growing, heat-loving summer annual grasses can smother weeds, suppress some nematode species and penetrate compacted subsoil if mowed once. Seed cost is modest. Followed by a legume cover crop, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids are a top choice for renovating overfarmed or compacted fields.
Maize
Maize being the highest yielding cereal crop in the world, is of significant importance for countries like Pakistan, where rapidly increasing population has already out stripped the available food supplies.In Pakistan maize is third important cereal after wheat and rice. Maize accounts for 4.8% of the total cropped area and 3.5% of the value of agricultural output. It is planted on an estimated area of 0.9 million hectare with an annual production of 1.3 million tonnes.
