Grass seeding in sub-tropical semi-arid zone at Jamrud District Peshawar
M. I. Shiekh and S. M. Khan
ABSTRACT
Forest department N.W.F.P. started planting Eucalyptus camaldulensis at 3 x 3 m in late seventies at Jamrud, near Peshawar (Av. Ann. rainfall 350 mm). Since lot of intervening space was available, it was decided to reseed the area with grasses such as Cenchrus ciliaris and Panicum antidotale. The selection of these two grasses was based on the fact that both of these are hardy, high yielders, palatable and nutritious.
