Improved local races of 8 grasses and 5 legumes were evaluated for forage yield and nutritional characteristics for introduction in sub-Himalayan pastures. Forage yield was higher for in grasses and Phalaris aquatic-PAOnobrychis viciifolia- in legumes. Grasses had low (P&38;lt0.05) CP and more NDF, ADF and cellulose than OVlegumes. Grasses had higher (P&38;lt0.05) tCHO except TP, while legumes had higher non Trifolium pretense-structural carbohydrates-NSC. Lignin bound carbohydrate fraction (C ) was higher in legumes except CPhleum pretense-Festuca rubra-FR. PP and Protein fraction P (NPN) was lower (P&38;lt0.05) in grasses. Grasses and Alegumes had lowest contents of rapidly degradable protein fraction (P ). Grasses and legumes differed B1(P&38;lt0.05) in gross energy and digestible energy and legumes had higher total digestible nutrients (TDN) except Bromus unioloides-. Truly digestible non fibrous carbohydrates (tdNFC) and tdCP of legumes were higher BU(P&38;lt0.05) than grasses. Legumes and - had higher (P&38;lt0.05) , Medicago s ativa-MSCoronilla varia CVTRdigestible DM (DDM) except (59.38) and (60.78%). Dry matter intake (DMI) and Festuca arundinacea-FABU relative feed value (RFV) were higher (P&38;lt0.05) for legumes. Neutral detergent fiber and cellulose were negatively correlated (P&38;lt0.01) with TDN, energy and DDM, RFV, DMI, tdNFC and tdCP. P and moderately B1degradable protein fraction (P ) were positively correlated (P&38;lt0.01) with RDP, while lignin bound protein B2fraction (P ) was negatively associated with TDN, energy and DDM. The NSC was positively associated with CTDN, energy, DDM, RFV, DMI and tdCP. Variability in nutritional characteristics of grasses and legumes signify their potential to rejuvenate pastures to improve livestock production.

On-farm field trial was conducted under rainfed conditions of Jammu region for three consecutive years withfodder crops taken as intercrops in agri-horticultural systems. Fodder crops (maize and bajra) were integrated with (Lemon) or (Kinnow). Multipurpose trees (MPTs) were also planted on Eureka lemon Kinnow mandarin the borders of the field. The study indicated enhanced growth of citrus along with maize and bajra as intercrops. Maize and bajra crops provided both green and dry fodder along with grain for human consumption, thus providing extra income to the farmer from same land unit. Net returns as well as B:C ratio were higher when bajra was intercropped either with (Lemon) or (Kinnow) as compared to Eureka lemon Kinnow mandarin maize iIintercrontercroppping. ping of maize and bajra also showed remarkable effect on fruit size (length and diameter) and fruit quality (total soluble solids, reducing sugar, total sugar and ascorbic acid). The weight and size of and fruits were more when intercropped with bajra and maize in comparison to K. mandarin E. lemon sole fruit trees. The multipurpose trees on the border areas of the farm helped to save land and increase cropping area

A novel fodder sorghum ( L.) genotype (EC484238) with multiple gynoecium has been Sorghum bicoloridentified at ICAR-IGFRI, Jhansi for the first time in India. The floral microscopic study of this novel genotyperevealed that female mega-gametophyte produced multiple gynoecium ranging from two to six, instead of one as in normal sorghum genotypes with bi-feathery stigma on each ovary. These multiple ovaries succeeded to produce viable twin or triplet seeds per spikelet per panicle. The twin and triple seed ratio ranged from 97-99% and 1-3%, respectively per panicle. This unique sorghum genotype might be a homeobox mutant which could shed light on the genetic regulation and control mechanisms governing the development of floral str ucture in sorghum as well as in other grasses of the Poaceae family. Multi-ovary sorghum has the obvious advantage of the increased number of seeds per panicle, thereby potentially increasing the seed yield. The novel genotype might be used in future fodder sorghum breeding programmes and will have more significance for the development of dual purpose fodder sorghum

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.

The current study aimed to map the potential grazing areas available in the Thondamuthur block of Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu, India. Factors like distance from cattle location, distance from water sources (natural and manmade), slope, enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and land surface water index (LSWI) were considered. Various suitability classes (very high, high, moderate, low and very low) were derived for each factor and the final suitability map was prepared by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted overlay techniques using Sentinel-2A data. The results revealed that the high suitability category occupied the largest area (14.81%) followed by the very high suitability category (3.57%). The moderate, low and very low suitability categories occupied a small per cent of the total area viz., 1.66%, 0.20% and 0.03%, respectively. The identified areas could be brought under scientific management for pasture development.

The present investigation aimed to provide nutritional and anti-nutritional profiling for fodder quality of twentyone mulberry genotypes. The genotypes were evaluated for various nutritional and anti-nutritional factors viz., moisture content, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, carbohydrate, ash, phenol, tannin, nitrate, saponin and flavonoids. Results showed that the crude protein varied significantly (P≤0.05) from 7.79 (ME-0663) to 34.06% (ME-0220). The mulberry genotype MI-0663 had the highest moisture content (77.53%) and ME-0001 had the lowest moisture content (64.72%). Crude fat content was high in ME-0109 (8.50%) and low in MI-0034 (2.49%). Crude fibre differed significantly from 7.55% (MI-0615) to 21.85% (MI-0536) and the carbohydrate ranged between 14.39 to 21.62%. Polyphenols recorded below the toxic level range varied from 0.72% (ME- 0220) to 2.92% (ME-0025) and tannin contents significantly (P≤0.05) varied from 1.23% (ME-0220) to 3.32% (ME-0025). The nitrate content was high in MI-0663 (0.165%) and low in MI-0017(0.026%). This study indicated that mulberry leaves had high protein content with low anti-nutritional factors, and these could be exploited as potential feed resources for livestock.

Field experiments were carried out to record the performance of twelve cropping sequences in randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Pantnagar. Different cropping sequences were assessed for fodder and nutrient yields, production and land use efficiency, profitability and soil organic carbon sequestration. Study revealed that hybrid Napier + berseem cropping sequence (CS ) had higher 12 green fodder (185.8%) and dry fodder (306.7%) yields than commonly practiced single cut sorghum + cowpea-oat + berseem-single cut sorghum + cowpea cropping sequence (CS ). This also had significantly higher digestible 1 dry matter (77.3 t ha-1), crude protein (11.4 t ha-1) and mineral (10.0 t ha-1) yields than CS . Production efficiency with 1 this treatment was 1.33 and 0.40 t ha-1 day-1 in terms of green and dry fodder yields, respectively against 0.53 and 0.11 t ha-1 day-1, which was observed in CS . CS was the most profitable cropping sequence showing 285.6, 235.1 1 12 and 222.2% higher net return, B:C ratio and economic efficiency, respectively than commonly followed cropping sequence (CS ). However, CS and CS were at par with respect to soil organic carbon sequestration. So hybrid 1 12 1 Napier + berseem cropping sequence (CS ) could be recommended for Tarai region.
在Pantnagar进行了2015-16和2016-17年12个随机完全块设计3个重复的种植序列的田间试验。评估了不同种植顺序对饲料和养分产量、生产和土地利用效率、盈利能力和土壤有机碳固存的影响。研究表明，与常规单切高粱+豇豆-燕麦+单切高粱+豇豆种植序列(CS)相比，杂交纳匹尔+贝贝斯麦种植序列(CS)的青饲料产量(185.8%)和干饲料产量(306.7%)均较高。可消化干物质(77.3 t ha-1)、粗蛋白质(11.4 t ha-1)和矿物质(10.0 t ha-1)产量均显著高于普通玉米。绿料和干料产量在该处理下分别为1.33和0.40 t ha-1 day-1，而在CS中分别为0.53和0.11 t ha-1 day-1。CS是最有利的种植序列，其净收益、B:C比和经济效益分别比常规种植序列(CS)高285.6、235.1、1.12和222.2%。然而，在土壤有机碳固存方面，CS和CS是相当的。因此，1 12 1 Napier + berseem杂交种植序列(CS)可用于塔莱地区。

Study revealed that hybrid Napier + berseem cropping sequence (CS ) had higher 12 green fodder (185.8%) and dry fodder (306.7%) yields than commonly practiced single cut sorghum + cowpea-oat + berseem-single cut sorghum + cowpea cropping sequence (CS ). This also had significantly higher digestible 1 dry matter (77.3 t ha-1), crude protein (11.4 t ha-1) and mineral (10.0 t ha-1) yields than CS . Production efficiency with 1 this treatment was 1.33 and 0.40 t ha-1 day-1 in terms of green and dry fodder yields, respectively against 0.53 and 0.11 t ha-1 day-1, which was observed in CS . CS was the most profitable cropping sequence showing 285.6, 235.1 1 12 and 222.2% higher net return, B:C ratio and economic efficiency, respectively than commonly followed cropping sequence (CS ). However, CS and CS were at par with respect to soil organic carbon sequestration. So hybrid 1 12 1 Napier + berseem cropping sequence (CS ) could be recommended for Tarai region.","PeriodicalId":49636,"journal":{"name":"Range Management and Agroforestry","volume":"238 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135842678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
A proper screening technique was needed to identify fodder crops with high green fodder yield suitable for elevated temperature. Accordingly, the changes in morpho-physiological characteristics and green fodder yield of forage cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] varieties (Kohinoor, BL-1, BL-2, BL-4 and EC-4216), were investigated under ambient as well as elevated (2 oC higher than ambient) temperatures at vegetative to maturity stage in open-top chambers. Elevated temperature decreased plant height, leaf length, leaf width, shoot fresh weight, leaf fresh and dry weights. Leaf length reduction (15.89 to 23.81%) was more than leaf width reduction (8.57 to 11.67%) and the highest leaf fresh weight reduction was recorded as (28.6%). Highest shoot dry weight reduction was observed in variety BL-2 (22%) followed by BL-4 (21%), EC-4216 (16%), BL-1 (15%) and least reduction was recorded in Kohinoor (13%). The long duration varieties' life cycles were shortened under elevated temperatures compared to ambient conditions, the highest percentage of reduction was observed in BL-2 (24%) and the least was recorded in BL-4 (17%). Significant interactions were found between variety and elevated temperature in leaf length and leaf width, total chlorophyll, relative water content and membrane stability index. Shoot biomass showed a highly positive significant correlation with elevated temperature, leaf fresh weight and ambient leaf width and a positive significant correlation with ambient leaf fresh weight, leaf length and elevated temperature leaf width. Kohinoor and BL-1 varieties were found relatively tolerant to temperature stress than EC-4216, BL-2 and BL-4.

Traditionally, tree plantations have been valued only for the tangible benefits; the intangible benefits provided by the tree plantation such as regulating climate, nutrient cycling, water purification, soil protection, and habitat for birds have either been undervalued or it is difficult to value these services. The present study was conducted to quantify the monetary value of nine years old Melia dubia plantation. The values of agroforestry eco-system services were quantified by market cost and alternate cost methods. The results indicated that total economic value provided by the plantation was Rs.6,70,496. If these values could be captured, it will help to conserve the plantation for non-commercial use.
