The present study elucidates the effect of drught by polyethylene glycol solution on germination of five temperate and two tropical grasses. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The germination percentage of seven grasses decreased with increasing concentration of polythylene glycol. 2. The germination pattern hi higher concentration of polyethylene glycol showed similar trends to the emergence pattern under drought stress in soil condition. 3. The treatment of 30g is most useful at this study. Therefore, polythlene glycol was the appropriate to creat the drought condition of soil.
