Abstract

The suitable intercropping combination of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L.) and cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub) for fodder yield and quality enhancement was studied in Yamuna ravines of Uttar Pradesh. In this experiment, nine treatments were evaluated which included two treatment of sole crop (pearl millet and cluster bean) and seven intercropping combinations of pearl millet + cluster bean viz., 1:1, 2:1, 1:2, 2:2, 3:1, 1:3 and 3:3. Maximum value of quality parameters (crude protein, ether extract, ash content, TDN, RFV, NE etc.) was obtained with intercropping of 1:3 row ratio. Highest total green and dry fodder yield of pearl l millet + cluster bean was obtained with 3:1 intercropping combination which was at par with 2:1 row ratio. Further maximum values of crude protein yield, ether extract yield and dry matter intake was recorded with 1:3 row ratios, which was statistically at par with 2:1 row ratio; and maximum value of ash yield was recorded with 2:1 row ratio. It was concluded that two rows pearl millet + one row cluster bean (2:1) intercropping combination could be recommended to obtain maximum yields of green fodder as well as crude protein.

珍珠粟与豆荚间作不同行比对饲料产量和品质的影响

研究了珍珠粟(Pennisetum americanum L.)与集束豆(Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub)在北方邦亚穆纳山谷间作提高饲料产量和品质的适宜组合。本试验共试验9个处理，包括单作珍珠粟和集束豆2个处理和珍珠粟+集束豆7个套作组合，分别为1:1、2:1、1:2、2:2、3:1、1:3和3:3。以1:3行比间作获得粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、灰分、TDN、RFV、NE等品质参数最大值。珍珠粟+集束豆在3:1间作组合下的青料和干料总产量最高，与2:1行比相当。粗蛋白质产量、粗脂肪产量和干物质采食量在行比为1:3时达到最大值，统计上与行比为2:1相当;行比为2:1时灰分产量最高。综上所述，两行珍珠粟+一行集束豆(2:1)间作组合可获得青饲料和粗蛋白质的最高产量。

期刊介绍： The Society has been established with the following objectives: 1. To advance the cause of research activity in all aspects of rangelands and to encourage and promote the studies on rangeland, wasteland ecosystems and agroforestry. 2. To provide facilities for seminars and conferences to rangeland researchers, development workers and farmers and to encourage close cooperation with organizations having related aims and interests. 3. To disseminate the knowledge of scientific agriculture and technology for forage and rangeland production, improvement and management.
