Abstract

                                A multicut fodder sorghum COFS 29 (TNS 30 x S. sudanense) was developed to meet long felt demand of the dairy farmers of Tamil Nadu. The new variety is having a yield potential of 170 t ha of green fodder per year in five harvests (main crop + four ratoons) at 65-70 days intervals. It is tall in stature and produces 10-15 thin tillers, highly leafy with high palatability. It has more crude protein content than Co 27 and less crude fibre and HCN content. The Digestible Dry Matter and In vitro digestible dry matter are also higher than Co 27.

Key words : Multicut fodder sorghum.
