Abstract

This study, which covered a period of two years, was originated in order to learn more of western wheatgrass as a revegetation and soil conservation plant. It was suggested by the fact that there is a definite need for more knowledge about this native grass which is a potential revegetation plant of the Great Plains. An attempt was made to study growth habits of the shoots, roots and rhizomes of western wheatgrass.
