Cynodon dytahilo
Cynodon dactylon
Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as Bermuda grass, is a widespread species found in various regions, particularly in warm climates. Traditionally, its use has not been documented in any specific medical or folk practices. 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 is noted for its presence during the wet season in Rawdhat Khuraym, Saudi Arabia, and has been observed to influence the diversity and stability of herbaceous communities in residential green spaces. The study also identified metal-tolerant Bacillus endophytes from this plant that promote plant growth and enhance flax seed germination. Safety concerns are minimal; no major issues have been recorded. There is currently no evidence of drug interactions associated with Cynodon dactylon.
