Abstract

Investigations were undertaken to study the effect of organic (FYM) and inorganic sources (urea. CAN) of nitrogen on yield and quality of Bajra Napier hybrid grass. The results showed that more number of tillers and highest dry matter yield was obtained with the application of 75 kg N na as urea with 2.5t of FYM ha. As regard to forage quality. Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) proved superior for percentage of crude protein content, while crude protein yield was found to be maximum when 75 kg N ha was applied as urea with 2.5t on FYM ha. Foliar spraying of molybdenum had no influence on the growth and yield, but it had significantly influenced the crude pusein in all cuttings.
