Abstract

                                Results of the field experiment conducted at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, showed that companion cropping of maize with legumes resulted in significant increase in the production of animal feed units, viz. total dry matter (30.91 %). T. D. N. (29.36 %), D.E.(29.36 %), D.D.M. (29.20 %) and S. E. (32.09 %); and quality of forage, viz. crude protein (67.02 %), crude fiber (22.03 %). N. F. E. (25.64 %), crude fat (53.48 %) and mineral matter (66.35 %), when compared to growing of maize above. Amongst different methods of planting. Cross-planting of maize with legumes at right angle was superior to other methods in respect to production of animal feed units and quality. Out of two companion crops tested, cowpea was better in terms of animal feed units and quality.
