Alien Grasses Sought By Uncle Sam To Fight Dust Storms
Government plant explorers test over two thousand lots of alien grasses collected from Russian Turkestan Manchuria and other arid regions for drought wind and heat tolerance. If any species proves tough it will be multiplied for potential use on the Great Plains to curb dust storms and soil erosion. The program highlights include species from the Gobi desert Persia Japan and Mesopotamia with researchers acting as gene hunters seeking traits like bacterial wilt resistance in alfalfa and other hardy characteristics. The effort underscores the long reach of plant exploration and the aim to stabilize soil across the Midwest and western plains.
