Abstract

                                Napier and Guinea grasses are recognized drought-resistant forage crops. They were introduced into the Punjab in 1926, and because of their long life and capability of giving high yields of green stuff without much effort or care were finally recommended for cultivation in the State in 1931. Both tirese grasses are perennial and supply large quantities of green forage and allow a good number of cuttings during the year. Under irrigation and adequate manuring Napier and Guinea grasses may give as much as 1,000 maunds and 600 maunds of green fodder per acre, respectively. Unless they are out and used as feod at the stage of optimum growth, they are not likely to provide large quantities of quality and palatable forage.
