Abstract

Field experiment conducted at Agronomy Farm Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur with three crop mixtures viz.. berseem with oats: chinese cabbage and mustard at three different seed rates and two intervals of first cut, during rabi season of 1982-83, revealed that borseem green forage yield can be increased to the extent of 115 % by growing chinese cabbage @ 2.0 kg/ha with it, during its establishment phase. With respect to interval of first cut, highest green forage of the season was obtained by first cutting taken at 45 Days Aftet Sowing (1551g/ha) compared to 1486 g/hs at 35 Days After Sowing. Quality components like crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, mineral matter and phosphorus were also estimated on the basis of dry matter production.
