Description
Livestock rearing is an integral part of rural India. Livestock productivity in India is far below the desired level due to shortage in availability of green fodder for feeding the animals. The health and productivity of livestock mainly depends upon the availability of quality feed and fodders in requisite amount. The need for growing forage crops in unconventional lands is already been in discussion. In the lower Gangetic plains there farmers seldom go for fodder crops and only marginal lands are devoted for such crops. Low lying situations, marshy lands are quite frequent in the delta which may house fodders crops. Proper care to improve upon quality of crops growing in such areas can supplement the deficits of nutrient fodder in this area. Therefore, a field experiment was planned to study the effect of nutrient management on yield and quality of different perennial forage crops in low land situation.
