ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted at Dryland farm, S.V. Agricultural college, Tirupati during kharif season of 2023 on sandy loam soils. The experiment was laid down in the randomized block design with factorial concept and replicated thrice. The results revealed that higher green and dry fodder yields in combination with higher uptake of N, P and K was obtained with TSFB 15-4 variety. Application of 120 kg N ha-1 significantly recorded higher green and dry fodder yield along with higher N, P and K uptake as well as available N, P2O5 and K2O in the soil at harvest compared to the lower doses of nitrogen levels tried.

KEYWORDS: Green fodder yield, Dry fodder yield, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium.
