Six varieties of forage kochia [Kochia prostrata (L.) Shad.], two Atriplex shrubs native to cold deserts in the western United States, and four drought-tolerant perennial grass varieties were seeded and evaluated under arid rangeland conditions in Jordan. Varieties were seeded in December 2007 and evaluated in August 2008 and June 2009 for frequency and height at two sites in arid rangeland areas of southern and northern Jordan.
