Production studies of important rangeland species of Azad Kashmir
Anjum Amin and Raja Mohammad Ashfaq
ABSTRACT
Nomadic grazing is the foremost cause of range
deterioration in Azad Kashmir.
Bakarwalsmigrate to upper Neelam Valley in search of food for their livestock in summer while move down to southern parts of the same valley during winter. Present studies were carried out not only to estimate productivity of the most important forage species occurring in these valleys but also suggest the best use of these species in the correct season of grazing. Productivity and phonological studies involved important forage species such as Dactylis glomerata, Festuca elatior, Festuca arundinacea, Phalaris tuberose. Sorghum helepense, Lolium multiflorum, Lolium perenne, Trifolium pratense, Trifolium repens and Vicia spp.
