- Observation Cinchrus ciliaris produced 37 ton/ha/year dry matter under saline soil.
- Observation Chloris gayana produced 36 ton/ha/year dry matter under saline soil.
- Observation Sorghum sudanese had the lowest dry matter yield, 27 ton/ha/year.
- Intervention effect C. gayana dry matter production fell 15% under salt stress relative to normal soil.
- Intervention effect C. ciliaris dry matter production fell 9% under salt stress relative to normal soil.
- Intervention effect Panicum antidotale dry matter production declined 53% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect S. sudanese dry matter production declined 45% under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Growing C. gayana reduced surface soil salinity by 74.81%.
- Intervention effect C. ciliaris reduced surface soil ECe by 70.55%.
- Intervention effect P. antidotale reduced surface soil ECe by 66.42%.
