Abstract
1. Several experiments were carried out to establish the practical method of application of coated seed of Italian rygrass by utilizing dairy poultry excreta for the improvement of mountain range. 2. The applicable mixing rate of coating seeds was proved to be 7kg or less of dried excreta and 50g of seeds. And 7l by water was added together with these materials and made into seed-pellets of chopping machine. 3. Sowing test of these pellets on newly reclimed slope land resulted good performance of hay yield and quality especially when much higher rate of poultry excreta pellets were used. 4. Since the dried pellets are much easier to handle than the raw materials, the carrying and sowing labour was proved to be much saved by using pellet seed in the practice of mountain range improvement including its manuring.
