Abstract

Trial conducted on Cenchrus setigerus indicated that the varietal differences exist among various genotypes. Improved strain CAZRI-76 produced about 70% more dry matter as compared to local strain. The average dry matter yield depending upon rainfall varied between 19.6 to 32.3 q/ha. This indicates that selection of proper genotype can substantially increase forage production in this part of Gujarat.

Abstract

Shade increased plant height, number of nodes, mean inter nodal length and various growth attributes in Cassia ingistifolia L. The leaf growth also increased in terms of number, expansion and dry matter accumulation. The promotory effect was more prominent at 25 per cent shade, however, the impact of further increase in shade level was marginal.
