Abstract

Present investigations were carried out during 2008- 2009 at Gajulamandyam village lands, Renigunta Mandal, Andhra Pradesh, India, to study the forage productivity of para grass on reclaimed alkaline waste lands. The comprehensive study of the plant growth showed that there is considerable improvement in the yield of forage grass. The detailed study was also done for analysis of proximate composition for para-grass for all stages.
