Cynodon dytahilo
Cynodon dactylon
Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as Bermuda grass, is a traditional medicine plant native to warm climates in Africa and parts of Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it is noted for its ability to thrive in diverse environments, particularly during the wet season in Rawdhat Khuraym, Saudi Arabia. Scientific evidence suggests that low doses of CaCl2 and AT can enhance root porosity without significantly affecting biomass under flooding stress conditions. Additionally, Cynodon dactylon has been observed as a dominant grass species in cultivated vegetation, influencing herbaceous community diversity in residential green spaces. The study also identified multiple metal-tolerant Bacillus endophytes from the plant that exhibit beneficial growth-promoting traits. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Cynodon dactylon.
