Its distinct traits are a very tall height and high yield potential. RC Big Rock was genetically improved for upright growth habit and increased height. Its tall height provides a high-quality habitat for deer. It is a late-season switchgrass with approximately 9 days later maturity than Cave-in-rock. RC Big Rock is a large, seeded variety selected for reduced seed dormancy, increased seed weight and increased seedling vigor. It is an excellent food source for pheasants and quail. It has noteworthy winter hardiness for a late season variety. It grows well on diverse soil types and has a wide regional adaptation to the mid-west and northeast regions. It is well suited for forage, biomass, soil conservation and wildlife habitat applications.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; background: rgb(242, 242, 242);\"\u003e\u003c!--[if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;\nmso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list:Ignore\"\u003e·\u003cspan style='font:7.0pt \"Times New Roman\"'\u003e                    \n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black;mso-color-alt:windowtext\"\u003eScientific\nname: Panicum virgatum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;
