Add to ORKGNot AvailableTHE AUTHORS DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF A STUDY CARRIED OUT AT DEHRADUN DURING 1993-94 TO ASSESS THE CONSERVATION FOR CONTROLLING EFFICIENCIES OF FIVE GRASS SPECIES IN BOULDERY RIVERBED LANDS. AMONG VARIOUS GRASSES , SACCHARUM MUNJA SHOWED BEST PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO CLUMP DIAMETER., LATERAL ROOT SPREAD , VERTICAL ROOT LENGTH, TOTAL NUMBER OF ROOTS , OVEN DRY ROOT AND AERIAL BIOMASS . WHILE OTHER SPECIES SHOWED THEIR DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE FOR DIFFERENT ROOT AND SHOOT PARAMETERS. IN GENERAL , THE PERCENTAGE ROOT BIOMASS DECREASED WITH INCREASING SOIL DEPTH IN ALL THE SPECIES. THOUGH THE TOTAL ROOT BIOMASS WAS ONE OF THE LOWEST IN EULALIOPSIS BINATA , IT WAS MAXIMUM IN UPPER SOIL HORIZON (0-30cm ) , HOWEVER , THE TREND WA...
