Moxie Yellow Jacket Coated Teff Grass Seed is a high-performing warm-season annual forage grass developed for producers seeking rapid establishment, excellent forage quality, and dependable seasonal production.

Key Features & Benefits

Why Choose Moxie Yellow Jacket Coated Teff?

Moxie Teff was developed to provide improved forage consistency and dependable seasonal performance. The environmentally conscious Yellow Jacket coating helps support stronger emergence and healthier early growth while improving seed handling during planting operations.

Compared to many traditional summer annual forages, teff grass offers:

• Softer, finer stems for improved forage quality

• Reduced risk of nitrate accumulation compared to some summer grasses

• Excellent recovery after cutting

• Strong performance during summer heat

• Flexible harvest options for grazing or baling

Its dense root system also helps reduce soil erosion while improving soil structure and organic matter.

Recommended Uses

Planting Information

Establishment Recommendations

For best results, plant Moxie Teff into a firm, weed-free seedbed after the danger of frost has passed. Because teff seed is extremely small, shallow planting depth is critical for successful emergence. Overplanting can significantly reduce stand establishment.

Maintaining proper soil moisture during germination is important, especially during hot summer weather. Under ideal conditions, teff establishes rapidly and can often be ready for the first harvest within 45 to 60 days after planting.

Forage Quality & Livestock Benefits

Moxie Yellow Jacket Coated Teff Grass is commonly utilized in feeding programs for:

• Horses

• Beef cattle

• Dairy cattle

• Sheep

• Goats

Its soft texture and excellent palatability make it highly desirable for hay production, particularly where premium-quality forage is required. Teff hay is often sought after for its fine stems, leafiness, and consistent feed value.

Storage & Handling

Store seed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Proper storage conditions help maintain seed quality and germination performance until planting season.
