Description One fourth of world's land surface is under grassland of one kind or the other. Grassland community develop where there is less rainfall to support forest. Annual precipitation where grasslands develop usually varies from 250 mm to 1000 mm. Environment, plants and animals are the important components of grasslands. These are closely interlinked and affect grassland productivity. Livestock production particularly in tropical region comes from natural rather than planted pastures.
Due to high human population pressure, availability of arable land per head is low particularly in developing countries. Because of this there is increasing pressure for cultivation of food crops. Thus, natural grasslands, meadows, forests, waste and barren land and crop residue are the primary source of fodder. Lack of resources as well as knowledge of grassland improvement and management practices is resulting in improper and under utilization of these resources.
