Acroceras macrum (Nile grass, Nyl grass) is a species of perennial grass native to Africa, which is often cultivated extensively as pasture, silage, and hay. It is palatable and nutritious for animal feed.[1] The roots are extended rhizomes and it produces spiked inflorescences 2–8 cm long.[2] The bright green, lanceolate leaves are typically 8–20 cm long, with the whole plant being about 20–70 cm tall.[3] It has been studied in breeding programs and it has been introduced to Australia and South America for cultivation.[4]

Wild Nile grass grows well in flooded, moist, and humid conditions and does not do well in periods of drought.[4] Thus, it is often found on streamsides, pond margins, and in swampy places.[5] It is susceptible to leaf spot caused by Phyllosticta and smut caused by Ustilago syntherismae.[3] It prefers acidic soils. It produces seeds but is usually propagated using cuttings of the rhizomes.
