Abstract
An investigation was carried out in the Instructional Farm attached to the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, during 1981-82 with the objective to assess the production potential of guinea grass var. Mackuenii under varying intensities of shade. It was also aimed to assess the potassium requirement was laid out in a 4 x 4 factorial randomised block design with 3 replications. The results of the study are summarised below:
(1) Height of grass was positively influenced by both shade intensities and potash levels. (2) Leaf area of grass was increased with increase in shade intensities and potash levels. (3) Tiller production was adversely affected by shade, while potash application increased tiller number of grasses.
