Drought is the common calamity in India. Nevertheless, drought
especially takes place in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Rajasthan and Gujarat
are very dry. People, those are the natives of these states have to
face the extreme trouble of drought. These states lack water just
because of very less rainfall. The temperatures of these states are
very high and whatever water exists also vaporizes. People have to
suffer each moment for water. They even do not get water for drinking
and other necessities. How could they maintain a beautiful lawn in a
beautiful bungalow? Even plants need water, also grass need water to
remain green. Watering plants and grass is very necessary to prevent
them getting brown and prevent to die.
To fulfill the extreme desire of having a beautiful green lawn,
scientists invent a relevant solution. This great invention is drought
tolerant grass. This grass can grow in any temperature neither it die
in extremely hot weather nor in extreme cold. The drought tolerant
grass has the unique factor; it does not need water. However, when the
temperature reach below zero then this grass surely dies. There are so
many types of drought tolerant grass, but they all have different
factors depending on the atmosphere.
Various types of drought tolerant grass are as follows: Fescue
grass, Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass, buffalo grass and St. Augustine
grass and Bahia grass.
Bermuda grass, this grass has the capacity to tolerate the heavy
traffic. This grass is also known as the sun lover grass. It needs
frequent mowing and after drought, it frequently responds to water. It
needs over seeding of rye grass to remain very green in winters. Some
common drought tolerant cultivars are Tiff Sport, GN1, Grimes EXP, Tex
Turf and Tiff way 419.
St. Augustine grass, it is very good grass for medium traffic. It
has low green and dappled shaped leaves to prevent it from drying in
summer; it has to water excessively in winters. The best drought
resistant cultivar is Floratam.
Zoysia grass, this grass tolerates very less traffic in the
comparison of Bermuda and St. Augustine. When this grass spreads all
over, it looks like a green velvet carpet. It gives a very soft and
cozy feeling. It look likes to be a green padded mattress. Drought
resistant cultivars of Zoysia grass are Empire, El Toro, Jamur and
Palisdaes.
Buffalo grass is found near mid east. To grow buffalo grass sun
light is needed. It does not bare very much traffic. After
establishing, it requires minimum water. Centipede grass, this grass
grows very slow, it is found in two shades of green, and they are lime
green and apple green. This is one of the best grasses, it also
enhances the beauty and it has very low maintenance. It attracts
towards sun but is sensitive of shade. Bahia grass is best among
others; it has a very good strength of tolerating the traffic and the
good effect of fighting with disease. It is also a very good drought
tolerant grass.
