Buffel grass (Pennisetum ciliare) is a perennial, native grass to South Africa, from good forage value that adapts well to a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. Titan and Regio buffel grass varieties come from collections made in the Central and Northern of Mexico. They were evaluate in arid and semi-arid areas in rainfed and irrigation from 1986 until the record in 2008. The definitive records granted by the National system of inspection and certification of seeds (SNICS), are CEN-001-060608 for Titan and CEN-002-060608 for Regio buffel grass, being these the first varieties registered for this species in Mexico. The average of these varieties yield varies between 2,120 and 2,582 kg MS ha-1 yr-1 under rainfed conditions and 5,180 to 9,160 kg MS ha-1 yr-1 under irrigation conditions. These varieties of grass are tolerant to drought, easy settlement and rapid growth; they are also appealing for livestock, grazing-resistant and tolerant to salinity. Currently, is the specie most used in the rehabilitation and conservation of soil in grassland of arid and semi-arid zones in Mexico.
