A field experiment was conducted during 1990 91 to 1999 2000 to study the response of forage cropping sequences to farmyard manure (FYM) and various fertilizer levels under irrigated condition. The 10 year pooled data indicated the promising role of legume based cropping sequence, i.e. sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in rainy season, berseem (Trifolium alexandinum L.) in winter and pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] in summer season, and gave significantly maximum green forage, dry matter and w ciude protein yields of 106.29, 20.90 and 2.56 tonneslhalyear, respectively, along with gross monetary returns of Rs 40,000lha year. An application of 75% recommended dose of NPK with 10 tonnes FYMlha to each crop in the rainy and winter seasons gave significantly higher green forage, dry matter and crude protein yields and also the gross monetary returns.References
