Abstract

The field experiment was conducted on fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and fodder oat (Avena sativa L.) during the kharif and rabi season in 2022-23 at GPB Research Farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD). Results revealed that the growth parameters of kharif sorghum and rabi oat viz., plant population (20.96 m-1 and 71.83 m-1), plant height (190.00 cm and 112.42 cm), Leaf: stem ratio (0.74 and 0.38), green fodder yield (274.46 q ha-1 and 263.9 q ha-1), dry fodder yield (68.61 q ha-1 and 65.97 q ha-1) and quality parameters viz., crude protein content (8.83 % and 7.84 %), crude protein yield (6.06 q ha-1 and 5.17 q ha-1), ADF (40.22 % and 44.31 %) and NDF (65.59 % and 73.61%) at harvest was improved by different organic treatments over control, being highest under FYM @ 5 t ha- 1 + Natural farming with mulch followed by FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Natural farming without mulch.
