hey friend,
here's your answer,
This is so because water from the roots of grass is removed by the method of plasmolysis when we sprinkle common salt at it's base and hence the grasses die at the spot.
Hope it helps you.....!!

Common salt is sprinkled on the grass, then it dies because adding salt results in loss of water from the grass cells due to exosmosis. as the concentration of salt is more outside the cells, the water leaves the cell to maintain equilibrium on both sides of the cell. this results in excessive loss of water from the cell resulting in cell death.
