| dc.description.abstract | The growth, of six grasses, grown as spaced plants under two ecologically different habitats in Kenya, were studied with the object of obtaining basic information on their growth and development. This information is an essential part of general research aimed at the improvement of stability and value of rangelands in East Africa. An introduct¬ion to the grass species and the experimental sites are given and methods employed are described. Plots of Cenchrus ciliaris var. biloela, Chloris gayana var. mbarara and Panicum maximum var. makueni were established at Muguga in April 1968 and sampled nine times until March 1969. In addition, at Muguga (2,086 m, high rainfall) and Kedong (1,878 m, low rainfall) the above mentioned grasses and Cenchrus ciliaris var. mbalambala,; Sragrostis superba and Theme da triandra were sampled five times from April 1967 to February 1968 and sub¬sequently during May to July of the same year. | en_US |
