Abstract
60 words
This study compared over a 6-month period effects of tractorploughing
and hand-clearing seedbed preparation on
morphometric characteristics of three arid and semi-arid grass
species, namely; Eragrostis superba Peyr, Cenchrus ciliaris L
and Enteropogon macrostachyus (Hochst ex A Rich) Monro ex
Benth. Seedling mortality was significantly higher under handclearing
than tractor-ploughing. Tractor - ploughing also gave
better growth, and biomass yield.
