	Erosion Control \| Revegetation of Perennial Grasslands in the Peruvian Andes
		The bunch grass clumps planted during revegetation were a mixture of native species, chiefly fescue and needle grass, with an occasional bluegrass and reed bent grass.
		English rye grass was the most commonly used grass for revegetation because of likelihood of success (cover and root growth), cost of seed, availability of seed, and the species’ ability to serve as a "nurse crop" for native grasses, forbs, and shrubs that will subsequently invade the areas.
		Workers collected clumps of native bunch grasses from nearby stands, and the collected clumps appear to be a random mixture of the species available, mostly the large fescue (Festuca orthophylla), a lesser amount of needle grass (Stipa ichu), and an occasional bluegrass and reed bent grass.

		Additionally, when in a lawn grass site bunch grasses are within the sampling frame the rule has been set that when their presence is more than 30% the lawn and bunch grasses are bagged and weighed separately.
		To investigate the relative responses of bunch and lawn grasses to intense defoliation 5 "fixed" (permanent) 1m2 quadrats were selected in the total exclosure (hare fence) and the partial exclosure (rhino fence) of the bunch grass (Le Dube and Sokwazela), short grass (Seme and Toboti) and forb sites (Klazana and Mona).
		The reason that bunch grasses are clipped less frequent is that monthly clipping of bunch grasses in previous years resulted in death of the grasses.

	Mowing Lawns
		Grasses with narrow blades can generally be mowed closer than grasses with wide blades.
		When dull blades tear and bruise the leaves, the wounded grass plants become weakened and are less able to ward off invading weeds or to recover from disease and insect attacks.
		Grass clippings contain about 4 percent nitrogen, one-half to 1 percent phosphorus, 2 to 3 percent potassium and smaller amounts of other essential plant nutrients — basically a 4-1-3 fertilizer.

		Bunch-type grasses won't hold together in the form of sod unless the producer of the turf uses a biodegradable netting at planting time.
		Sod-forming grasses such as zoysia and Bermuda should be mowed at a much lower height than bunch-type grasses such as fescue.

	Fountain Grass
		Fountain Grass or Pennisetum setaceum is a handsome perennial bunch grass (2 -3 feet tall) that can be found in landscapes throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area including the communities of Cave Creek, Carefree, Scottsdale and the unincorporated areas toward Interstate 17.
		Native to Africa, fountain grass is a less desirable food for native herbivores (plant eaters) than are the native grasses that have evolved in the Sonoran Desert along with the herbivores.
		Another advantage that fountain grass has is that with people planting and irrigating this plant in their yards there is an ever growing supply of seed being produced that can spread to wild areas.
