The study was carried out to test the viability, growth and yield of 05 grass varieties including Guatemala, Ghine TD58, Mulato 2, V A06 and Stylo in both highland and lower land of the Northwestern mountainous area. These forages were grown in experimental plots with 3 replicates for each variety. The investigation results in the first year of plantation showed that all 5 varieties adapted perfectly with the natural conditions of the studied area
Showed to have good growth and development
and yielded range from 10-70 tons/halharvest. Especially, V A06 and Guatemala grass varieties had the highest capability of growth and yield. They can be planted widely in massive production in the study areas.
