- 32. 32 CONTD… These are separatespp the former with a dark rough flower and the latter with a lighter and more hairy inflorescence but have the same fodder value and the vernacular names are often interchanged. P.T.O
- 33. 33 CONTD… They do bestin a regular and fairly heavy rainfall but anjan persists in very arid conditions if sown on deeply ploughed land.
- 34. 34 CONTD… • Palwan orjanewah (in U.P) – Dicanthium annulatum syn. Bothriochloa pertusa
- 35. 35 CONTD… • Is thebest fodder grass in the U.P but falls off in value and quantity with erratic rainfall, though it is palatable all the year round and has a persistent flowering habit. P.T.O
- 36. 36 CONTD… 3. Dub, Khabbal-Cynodon dactylon – Is the obvious choice for grassing down field drains and escape outlet, and its use for this purpose should be greatly extended. P.T.O
- 37. 37 To get thebest results it requires cultivation and where a quick cover is essential to stop further soil loss from newly made drains a top dressing of chemical manure is justified.
- 38. 38 CONTD… •Khaus, ganni, gandhi(Iseilema laxum) –A perennial bunch grass though sometimes creeping which persists in heavier clay soils even with a very low rainfall Found in southern U.P & other parts.
- 39. 39 CONTD… • Sariala (Heteropogoncontortus, Spear grass)- is the commonest hill side cover in Punjab. Owing to its crop of barbs it can only be harvested either before flowering or after it is fully mature when the bunches of barbs can only be shaken out during or after cutting. It should not be sown along with other grasses but kept as a pure crop. Where it is firmly P.T.O
- 40. 40 CONTD… -established as anatural crop it is not feasible to oust it or replace it with anything better, owing to its persistency. Contour trenching of typical sariala areas will result in the grass producing a much heavier yield and prolonging its growth season well into the winter.
- 41. 41 CONTD… 6. Chimbar –(Eleusine flagellifera) Found in Punjab, Haryana. It is the commonest grass of irrigated forest plantations. Inferior to Anjan in growth & yield.
- 42. 42 CONTD… DAB (Eragrostis cynosuroidesor Desmostachya bipinnata) Is an inferior grass prevalent on abandoned cultivation and on heavily grazed areas and where it is common the only chance of improvement appears to P.T.O
- 43. 43 CONTD… -lie in completeclosure to grazing for a period during which the land is contour ridged, the dab eradicated and better grasses cultivated after which rotational grazing should ensure that the better grasses are not again driven out by it.
- 44. 44 CONTD… 8. Lamb, lampa(Aristida depressa) is typical of the poor soils of H.P, Gujrat etc. It thrives in uplands which have been eroded down to a clay subsoil and also often persists as the commonest grass under scrub under heavy grazing.
- 45. 45 CONTD… Owing to itsseed being armed with short spikes its only value is as a green fodder but it is so thin as to be not worth cutting so the only way to utilize it is controlled grazing carefully regulated to what it will stand.
- 46. 46 CONTD… 9. Swank (Panicumcolunum syn. Echinochloa colonum) Is a coarse fleshy grass, a nutritious fodder but does not make good hay and is best used green .It favours heavy soils.
- 47. 47 CONTD… 10.Kahi,Kans (Saccharum spontaneum) Isa pioneer whose use in sand reclamation has now been established as it is almost invariably the first volunteer in any closure of torrent ruined land. P.T.O
- 48. 48 CONTD… Once established itrequires only protection against excessive grazing to bind the surface and provide cut fodder which can be used right through the summer and early rains when other grasses are not fit for cutting.
- 49. 49 CONTD… 11. BHABBAR GRASS,SABAI (EULALIOPSIS BINATA SYN. ISCHOEMUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM) Is not normally a fodder grass, but finds a ready market as the raw material for paper & other products. The natural distribution of this grass is on the rockier and drier parts of the foothills from Nepal westwards almost to the Indus.
