Studies on Fodder Based Intercropping Systems under Southern Rajasthan Conditions

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment revealed that among sorghum and maize based intercropping systems, sorghum + cowpea in 21 row proportion produced significantly higher green fodder yield, dry matter production at harvest, N and P uptake, and fodder quality components (crud protein, ether extract, crude fibre, and mineral matter) while sorghum + clusterbean in 21 row proportion gave significantly higher LAI and LER over sole treatments. Maize intercropped with cowpea in 21 row ratio had significantly higher total digestible nutrients (TDN) over sole treatments.
