Comparison of Forage Cropping Systems in the Oxisol of Kerala

Abstract

An experiment conducted to campare the productivity of a few forage cropping systems and to study the feasibility of mixing cowpea with annual cereals and perennial grasses, in the laterite soils of Kerala revealed that among the grasses, hybrid napier was superior in terms of forage and crude protein yields followed by guinea grass. Mixing cowpea with perennial grasses (hybrid napler and guinea grass) does not appear to be compatible at the normal spacing of the grassos, Cowpea mixes well with the annual cereals (maize and sorghum) but the yields of these crops and crop combinations are comparatively low.
