Abstract

An experiment to find out the best combination of cereat legume forage crops grown in rotation as compared to the continuous grass cultivation, revealed that sor ghum-cowpeo mixture followed by maize-cowpea successively, and maize-cowpea grown in all the three rotations were found to be more productive and economical. than guinea grass grown continuously. In one year 96.31 and 94.41 t/ha of green fodder were obtained respectively from the above two rotations, with a net return of Rs. 5,835/- and Rs. 5010/- from them.
