Description Not Available
The present study was aimed to evaluate the nutritional value of grass (Dicanthium annulatum and
Urochondra setulosa) and non grass (Suaeda nudiflora) halophytes. For this study, seeds as well as root slips
of these grasses and non grass halophytes were collected from extreme saline sodic Kachchh plains, Bhuj,
Gujarat and established in microplots. The experiment was designed in two factorial randomized block design
having 3 halophytes and 6 different treatments of salinity/sodicity i.e. control (pH2: 7.1 and ECe: 0.43), sodic
(pH2: 9.5 and 10.0) and saline (ECe: 15, 25, 35 dSm-1) separately. The DM content was found to be 18.09, 39.99
and 41.45% in S. nudiflora, D. annulatum and U. setulosa, respectively. The highest values of CP were
observed in S. nudiflora (9.44%) followed by U. setulosa (8.42%) and D. annulatum (5.26%). No significant
change was observed in EE content of these halophytes with different salt stress levels in comparison to
control. The ash level showed variability between 8.83 (D. annulatum) and 9.58% (S. nudiflora). NDF, ADF and
ADL values differed among these halophytes. Non-grass halophyte showed higher (P
