Abstract
The study was conducted in Rakh Shadan Lund rangeland of Dera Ghazi Khan during October, 2010 for comparison of forage production & carrying capacity in seeded & unseeded range areas. Reseeding was done during 2009-2010. Data were collected by laying out eight transect lines each 30 meters long, four each in seeded and unseeded areas. Forty quadrats (1x1m) i.e. 20 in seeded area and 20 in unseeded area were studied for forage yield determination. Data were statistically analyzed using t-test. Results revealed that forage production in seeded area was significantly higher than in the unseeded area (P<0.01). The forage production was about 5 times more in seeded area as compared to un-seeded area. As a result of re-seeding, the carrying capacity has also been increased. This study clearly depicts that range re-seeding is an effective technique to enhance the forage production and carrying capacity of less producing range areas of Dera Ghazi Khan Rangelands.
