Abstract

                                Field experiments were carried out to evaluate the production potential of cereal-legumne fodder combinations in the North Western Zone of Tamil Nadu having red sandy loam soils at RRS, Paiyur in 1987 and 1988. Cereal fodders like sorghum, maize, pearl millet and finger millet and legume fodders such as cowpea and soybean were raised as pure and in 1:1 and 2:1 ratios. The experimental results indicated that maize cowpea in 1:1 combination produced 27 tonnes of green fodder with higher per day productivity and protein yield under irrigated conditions.
