Abstract

The growth performance of certain directly seeded leguminous trees, non-leguminous trees, leguminous forbs, grasses and crops were evaluated on 12 yr old flat surface coal mine spoil at Jhingurda Colliery, Northern Coalfields Ltd., Singrauli. Out of thirty plant species, twenty four species showed satisfactory growth performance after one year of seeding. Cajanus cajan showed better growth performance on mine spoil than fertilized Agriculture Farm plots at Barkachha, Mirzapur. For quick revegetation of mine spoil, seeding of plant species is a suitable method.
