About this title

Synopsis

The soil of the experimental field was medium-deep black and well-drained soil with fairly uniform and leveled topography. The initial and final plant stand did not exhibit any noticeable difference due to different treatments. Yield contributing attributes such as green fodder yield (4.22 t ha-1) and dry fodder yield (1.24 t ha-1) were found highest under the application of RDF along with foliar application of 2% urea which was at par with DAP and water soluble fertilizer 19:19:19 (NPK) at 45 DAS and found significantly superior over rest of the treatments. The extent of expression of quality parameters such as crude protein content (%) and crude fiber content (%) were not significantly influenced by different treatments but crude protein yield and crude fiber yield, yield, and net returns were found higher under the application of RDF along with foliar application of 2% urea at 45days after sowing. The application of RDF along with the foliar application of 2% urea, 2%DAP, and water spray at 45 days after sowing recorded significantly higher uptake of N, P, and K respectively, and were found significantly superior over the rest of the treatments.
