"A Handbook of Some South Indian Grasses" by K. Rangachari and C. Tadulinga Mudaliyar is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a guide to the study of various grasses prevalent in the plains of South India, detailing approximately one hundred species that are essential for agriculture and livestock. The handbook emphasizes the economic significance of grasses, often overlooked by farmers, and aims to enhance knowledge for better agricultural practices. The opening of the handbook introduces the wide distribution and vital ecological role of grasses around the world. It explains how grasses can adapt to various soil types and climates and stresses their importance in agriculture, particularly for cattle welfare. The text highlights the general characteristics and vegetative structure of grasses, discussing various types through the example of specific species, such as "Panicum javanicum". The author points out that while grasses form a crucial element of farming, they are often neglected, resulting in a need for detailed identification and understanding as agricultural practices evolve with changing demographics and land use.
