The comparative effect of dual inoculation of native N fixer (Rhizobium) and AM fungi consortia with different organic fertilizers (vermicompost and farm yard manure) on fodder production and quality of two leguminous tree species (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de. Wit. and Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr.) in silvopastoral system and their impact on the fodder production of un-inoculated Panicum maxim...

There is considerable interest in reliable and practical methods to sequester carbon (C) into agricultural soils to both reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and improve conventional productivity. This article outlines a research methodology to refine the efficacy and economics of using long-lived C species (biochars) as stock feed additives, produced from farm waste biomass, for ec...

The experiment was conducted to examine the replacement of maize fodder withmaize silage on dry matter intake, weight gain and feed efficiency in male buffalo calves. Total 18no. young calves with body 250 + 20 kg having age around 24 monthswere randomly distributed into three groups containing 6 each group.A diet 16% Crude Proteinand 2.1 Mcal/kg energy prepared fed at rate 1% live allexperimen...

A field experiment was conducted on medium black calcareous soil at Junagadh (Gujarat) during Rabi season of 2019-20 to study the bioefficacy herbicides and their mixtures for weed management in maize (Zea mays L.). The laid out randomized block design with three replications. treatments comprised of: Atrazine 500 g/ha as PE fb 2,4-D (SS) PoE 30 DAS, halosulfuron-methyl 60 tembotrione 100 topra...

Maize is one of the important cereals in world after rice and wheat. It grown for grain as well fodder tropical, sub-tropical temperate regions World. The reduction maize productivity under drought stress conditions depends on different factors such plant development stage, intensity duration water deficit, varietal sensitivity to stress. Drought major constraints agriculture where limited avai...

The fodder scarcity is the major constraint to achieve potential livestock production;and it high time introduce yielding and cereal varieties ensure good animal health.Two maize Hybrids (Hycorn-11+, Hycron-984) were compared for their performance with local maize(Afgoy) optimized NPK requirement evaluating levels of 75-50-50, 100-65-60, 125-80-70 kg ha-1).
 hybrids out-yielded variety reg...
