Abstract: Ceratoides arborescens (Losinsk.)Tsien et C. G. Ma cv. Wulanchabu is a new variety bred from wild desert grass seeds collected in Wulatezhongqi ,Houqi ,Siziwangqi, and after 10 years of introduction and cultivation. We chose seeds and carried out comparative test,regional test,productive test,popularization and application in the Comprehensive Test and Demonstration Center, Inner Mongolia Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences and surrounding areas. The variety showed following advantages : (1)tall plant with developed root system; (2)resistanee to drought, cold and poor soil, strong adaptability ; (3) rich nutrition and good for animals ,fast growth, high forage yield. In the process of domestication, we compared Ceratoides with other forage grass in arid region,the variety showed characteristic of high germination rate,high seedling rate,high yield. Seedling and planting of this variety has remarkable economic benefits, it plays a good role on improving ecological environment. In production ,we use technique of seedling in small area and transplanting in big area.
