Description
Themeda triandra seeds were planted into undisturbed, burnt and tilled treatments in degenerate humid grassland. More seedlings emerged and survived on tilled soil than on the other two treatments. The plants on the tilled treatments were also larger (had more tillers with greater mass than the other two). The effect of tillage was attributed to removal of competition from undesirable competitors, which seems essential in the reintroduction of T. triandra into humid grasslands of South Africa.
