Bermudagrass

The whole herb contains crude protein, crude fiber, lignin, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. β-Sitosterol, β-sitosterol-D-glucoside, and palmitic acid have also been isolated.

In vitro tests of the extract of the whole herb (fresh human citrated blood co-incubated with a staphylococcal suspension, with the number of bacteria in phagocytes counted) showed a relatively high phagocytic index, but the extract of the young branches did not show antibacterial activity. This plant can produce cyanate; livestock may occasionally be poisoned after eating it.
