Puccinellia : Outstanding Saltland Grass, C V. Malcolm, S. T. Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
"Puccinellia" is a tussocky perennial grass with an outstanding ability to survive salty and waterlogged conditions.
Considerable areas of saltland in Western Australia are suited to its growth.
Seed is now available commercially and in this article the conditions to which the grass is suited are described and establishment and management methods are suggested.

MOST of the extensive areas of new land being brought into cultivation in Western Australia are very sparsely populated with the rhizobial root nodule bacteria which are essential for successful legume pasture establishment.
These bacteria, therefore, must be introduced into the soil where, under favourable conditions, they will develop nodules on the roots (Fig. 1).
