The opportunity for improving wasteland through cultivation of shrubland species and grasses to produce quality biomass will be per-eminent. Every village is bestowed with wasteland. Yet, faces acute shortage of basic needs, the dilemma is how to make these areas productive. There are good number of shrub species adapted to these areas as vital component of vegetation cover, having potential of high biomass of economic value. There is need to mention here that the efforts have been directed to find out the "ways and means" to convernt wasteland as source of biomass production of a good quality thereby, conforming the plant species x wasteland culturing are inseperable from each other.
