Quick-N-Big Spreader
Quick-N-Big Spreader is a quick, early growth crabgrass. It has more “spread” at the base than Quick-N-Big, and that helps it “cover the ground” a bit better, and leave more leaf on stubble when hay mowing or rotational grazing. Under good conditions, average total spread, from one plant, at ground level was 36 inches. And, the variety has measured 56 inches tall at the top of the seed heads, thus it is a very productive variety, as well as a “Spreader” capable type. “Spreader” stems help protect this variety from too short grazing or hay mowing.
Quick-N-Big Spreader Crabgrass is essentially a Quick-N-Big Crabgrass with the decumbent stems (fake runners or stolons) for quicker soil cover and more protection from short grazing, short mowing, and too much tread damage, etc. around the crown. It’s a good forage grass, also with the very rapid early growth.
