Grass planting

• Establishment of perennial conservation cover using seed, clump, rhizome, cuttings.

• common practice on marginal cropland to prevent wind, water erosion.

• quickest and easiest ways to add vegetation to a large area.

Why permanent grass cover?????

• Enhances soil quality by reducing compaction & restoring depleted organic matter.

• Reduces soil erosion- dense root systems, form a structural web within the soil; the particles are trapped between roots.

• Improves the water infiltration capacity & improves water quality.

• Direct sowing of grass seeds (Lasinus sindicus) creates barrier for sand movement.

• Sequesters carbon.

• Creates wildlife habitat, especially for grassland birds
