Production and Quality Assessment of Pasture Crop in Red Lateritic Wasteland of Central Chhattisgarh
Description
The livestock constitutes a very important component in rural economy, as in agriculture. Our country largely depends on livestock for manure and power. The availability of fodder is short from the requirement and an estimate of several agencies, there is more than 300 per cent gap between availability and requirement (Anon, 1980). Most of the livestock depend either partially or completely on natural and developed pastoral system, but the existing practices of utilization of range lands, grasslands and forest areas natural resources and increasing land degradation. In the improved pastoral system in wastelands, the carrying capacity of grass-legumes pastoral field is consistently noticed to deteriorated over a period by invasion of local species. Here improved pastoral system was studied for its production and structure behavior and nutritive value after 10 years of establishment.
