Influence of combinations of different fodder crops on nutritional quality under hydroponic condition

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the influence of combinations of different fodder crops on nutritional quality under hydroponic condition at Agronomy field unit, Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore during the year 2018. The experiment was conducted with 13 treatment combinations involving maize, finger millet, little millet and cowpea at different proportions by using completely randomised design (CRD) and repeated three times. The results revealed that the crude protein and carbohydrate yield was highest in 100% Cowpea and 25% Cowpea + 75% Maize treatments compared to other treatments.
