Seeding and stump planting methods of five grasses were compared at Arid Zone Research Institute (PARC) farm in Cholistan during monsoon seasons of 1992-94. A seed rate of 250 seeds/m2 was used in case of seeding while for stump planting the plant to plant spacing was kept at 0.5 m. Overall dry matter yield (DMY) than rest of the grasses. Field observations confirmed that plants emerging from seed were morphologically more vigorous than those arising from root stumps. Thus seeding method if synchronized with suitable soil moisture can prove more effective in terms of DMY in desert areas like Cholistan.
