Abstract

The prominent range grasses like Blue panic grass (Panicum antidotale), Blue stem grass (Dicanthium annulatum) and Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) were tested against 10, 20 and 30 dS/m ECe (Electrical conductivity) of salinity. The results showed that forage and seed production, plant height, fresh green leave weight, number of tillers per plant in all grasses decreased in response to increasing degrees of salinity. Blue panic grass gave the highest seed and forage yield.
