Abstract


Field experiments were conducted during 1984-85 and 1985-86 under rainfed vertisols at Regional Research Station, Aruppukottai to identify the suitable cereal, and legume fodders either alone or with cereals viz., maize (African tall), sorghum (K7) and Pearl millet (Co.6), legume cowpea (Co.4) and soybean (Co.1). Performance of cereal legume combination was better than pure stand. Maize + cowpea (2:1) with high fodder and protein production was the most suitable combination.
