Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect S100C100 gave the highest dry matter yield (29.17) among the cropping systems.
- Intervention effect Clover monoculture had the highest crude protein and digestible dry matter content.
- Intervention effect The S100C100 system gave the maximum yield of crude protein and digestible dry matter.
- Intervention effect Increasing the clover proportion in intercropping decreased acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber.
- Intervention effect Increasing the clover proportion in intercropping increased relative feed value, net energy for lactation and dry matter intake.
- Intervention effect Increasing the sorghum proportion in intercropping improved the yield of dry matter, crude protein and digestible dry matter.
- Intervention effect The land equivalent ratio for dry matter yield was higher than one in all intercropping treatments.
- Intervention effect The land equivalent ratio for dry matter yield was significantly higher in the additive intercropping systems.
- Intervention effect The S100C100 system had a significant advantage over other treatments for simultaneous increase of forage quantity and quality.
- Recommendation The S100C100 system can be a suitable alternative to sorghum and clover monoculture systems in semi-arid regions.
