Abstract

                                Field experiments were conducted to study the possibility of raising intercrops in lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and the effect of N and P application. The treatments consisted of pure lucerne, pure fodder sorghum, pure fodder maize and lucerne plus fodder sorghum/ fodder maize. To the mixed stand, nine combinations of three levels each of N and P uere applied. The neutral and acid detergent fibre contents of lucerne were greater in the mixed stand of lucerne+fodder sorghum as compared to lucerne + fodder maize. Application of N and P reduced the NDF and ADF contents of the lucerne in the mixed stand.

Key words : Intercropping, Neutral-detergent fibre, Acid- detergent fibre, Lucerne.
