A field experiment on this crop (variety GFB 1) was conducted in R.B.D. with three replications during summer-monsoon seasons of 2003 and 2004 on different sites to study the influence of various levels of N, K and S. There were two levels of N viz.,100 and 150 kg ha-1, three treatments of K viz., 0, 40 kg K2O ha-1 applied either entirely as basal and 50% as basal and remaining in two equal splits after first and second cuts and three levels of S viz., 0, 20 and 40 kg S ha-1. There were three cuts in each year. Initial available N, K and S contents in soil were low, medium and marginal, respectively in their status. Yield of green forage, dry matter yields were increased by application of N, K and S. There was 31.8 per cent increase in green forage yield due to nitrogen (N2) over that of N1 (521.4 q ha-1), 9.8 and 19.4 per cent increase for K1 and K2 over that of K0 (550.7 q ha-1) and 3.78 and 7.86 per cent increase for sulphur-S1 and S2 over that of S0 (581.7 q ha-1), respectively. Similarly the dry forage yield was also increased. The yield increase due to N, K and S treatment was supported by increase in growth parameters such as tillers per meter row length, number of internodes per plant and plant height. The beneficial effect due to K particularly that of K2 may probably due to dominance of intensity factor in K supply mechanism.Keywords

Eighteen treatments comprising of combination of three levels of FYM (0, (F0), 10 (F1) and 20 (F2) t ha-1) and six nutrient management treatments [control (M0), Fe (M1), Zn (M2), S (M3), Fe+Zn (M4) and Fe+Zn+S (M5)] were tested in factorial randomized block design with three replications in field experiments conducted during Kharif and summer seasons of 2003 and 2004. Fe, Zn and S were applied @ 10, 5 and 40 kg ha-1 as FeSO4, ZnSO4 and gypsum, respectively. Initial available S, Fe and Zn contents in the soil were low. Yield of green forage and dry forage were increased by the treatments F2 and F1 (8.5 and 5.3 %, respectively) over treatment F0. The treatments M5 and M4 significantly increased the green fodder yield by 13.0 and 8.5 per cent, respectively, over that of M0 (731.5 q ha-1). The study of quality parameters viz., crude protein content, neutral detergent fiber and sugar content revealed that application of FYM at F1 and F2 as well as Fe-Zn-S treatments favourably influenced the quality parameters in comparison to their respective control.Keywords
