	abstract = {Vast areas of rangeland in the Southwestern states which were formerly dominated by perennial grasses are now badly in need of revegetation.  This condition presents a problem in the selection of grass species for reseeding.  Growing-season precipitation results from convectional storms and is erratic in distribution both as to time and location.  This, coupled with the high evaporation rate from sparsely vegetated loamy sand and sandy loam soils characteristic of much of the region, makes for low effectiveness of precipitation.  Therefore, species selected for reseeding should be those which are best adapted to germination and survival under conditions of limited moisture.  The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of different degrees of moisture stress on time required for germination, total germination and initial seedling growth of six warm season grass species.},
