The experiment was conducted during kharif, 2018-19 on red loam soils of Regional
Agricultural Research Station, Tirupati. The experiment was laid in the randomized block design
with factorial concept and each treatment replicated thrice. The results showed that the higher
green fodder yield (21,054 kg ha-1) and dry fodder yield (3,473 kg ha-1) was obtained with MFC
08-14 variety. Significantly higher crude protein content (12.15%) was registered with APFC 10
1 variety, while the difference in crude fibre content among the varieties were found non-significant.
Among the different levels of phosphorus, application of 60 kg P2
O5
/ha recorded significantly
higher green fodder yield (21,590 kg/ha). Crude fibre content was not significantly influenced
either by varieties or different levels of phosphorus application under rainfed conditions of
Southern Zone of Andhra Pradesh.
