The results ot three years revealed that the maximum mean dry matter production (1990 kg ha-1) and protein yield (207 kg ha-1) was recorded with CAZRI 2171 followed by CAZRI 2226 whereas CAZRI-75 gave minimum dry matter yield (846 kg ha-1) and protein yield (64 kg ha-1). Plants of CAZRI 2171 and 2226 were taller and flowered early and the numbers of tillers were more in CAZRI 2186 with short stature plants. The protein content in the foliage of CAZRI 75 was slightly higher but total protein yield was lower than CAZRI 2171 and CAZRI 2226. This indicated that CAZRI 2171 and CAZRI 2226 were superior for producing higher forage and protein yields under arid conditions. Further cutting intervals did not show significant variation for the mean dry matter production over the years but green fodder yield and crude protein content were higher when the grass was harvested at 30 days interval in all the genotypes, except in CAZRI 75 in which mortality of plants was higher at harvesting at this stage.Not Availabl

No full textA study was undertaken at Jodhpur during rainy (kharif) season of 2003 and 2004 to assess the production potential of Cenchrus ciliaris L./Lasiurus sindicus Henr. and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] sown in strips in association with early stage Colophospermum mopane Kirk ex Benth. and Hardwickia binata Roxb. stands with and without fertilizer application. The results showed that plant growth and survival percentage of C. mopane was higher than H. binata. The growth of C. mopane plants was affected by different strip cropping and fertilizer. Green and dry forage yields were influenced by the cropping systems and these were maximum with L. sindicus + cowpea system (8.99 and 3.08 tonnes/ha green and dry forage yield), followed by sole strip of L. sindicus (8.88 and 3.08 tonnes/ha green and dry forage yield) and C. ciliaris + cowpea cropping system (8.46 and 2.78 tonnes/ha green and dry forage yield) in kharif 2003. However, forage yield was recorded maximum in sole strip of C. ciliaris, followed by C. ciliaris + cowpea cropping system in kharif 2004. The mean data of two years revealed that green and dry fodder yields under different strip cropping were at par but protein yield was higher with L. sindicus + cowpea and C. ciliaris + cowpea system as compared to sole strip of C. ciliaris/L. sindicus. Application of 40 kg N/ha increased green and dry fodder yields by 10-12% over the control. Crude protein yield of grasses was also increased (61%) with inclusion of cowpea and fertilizer application. Water-use efficiency of grasses and cowpea was increased with nitrogen application.Not Availabl
