Grass Flora of the Sawai Madhopur Area

Abstract

Grasses are typical plants of the ecosystem. They are large and dominated vegetation of the terrestrial ecosystem. In some areas of the world, they form a large dominated vegetation. Ecologically as well as the economically, grasses are the best genera of the plant kingdom. Apart from the civilization, grasses are selected for several purposes; like they are sources of sugar, bamboo and food (major crops like the wheat, rice, bajara and maize). They are major sources of food, fodder, and fibre. Still today, in India as well as other parts of the world they are an indispensable food for the people in India in Rajasthan, as well as other parts of the world. Chapattis from the wheat flour are eaten and they are the food of the north as well as south India. Rice is indispensable food in many parts of the world; rice is the major item of foods in all over south India; besides this, Saccrahum, the source of sugar is another form of grass which is of commercial value. So the grass ear is valuable from the economic as well as ecological point of view. They form primary vegetation of many kinds of vegetation and they are typical soil invaders. Here in this research work, we are working on taxonomy of the grass genera of the Sawai Madhopur area of Rajasthan. The area has several kinds of agricultural land and they are full of diverse genera of grasses in the rainy season; so a short attempt has been made for the research work on the diversity of grasses.
