Napir grass is a multiple purpose plant and grows best in adequate soil
moisture, near streams, ponds. In Rwanda,also in Africa, farmers use stems
(like of sugarcane) to construct rabbitsties to raise rabbits.. Napirgrass is
as versatile like bamboo: house wall in the rural setting, pole, a lot of
biomass for forage, antierosion barriers along slopes..
