Study of the fodder quality parameters of Grewia laevigata Vahl., was undertaken with a view to harness its potential in future breeding programme and to encourage the farmers to plant the species to enhance fodder productivity. The study was conducted in the Shiwalik region of two districts of Himachal Pradesh to estimate leaf fodder nutritional value and its variation at different sites. Nutrient contents and leaf proximate composition were worked out along with their correlation co-efficient, heritability and genetic gain. The study concluded that significant differences in mineral nutrients, except for potassium and also for proximate principles, showed variability between the populations in different localities. Mineral nutrients and proximate principles exhibited phenotypic variability higher than the genotypic ones with very less differences between the two levels. Thus indicating that these are least influenced by the environmental parameters. Hence selection of superior genotypes in 'nallah' locations is most suitable in comparison to other locations for further multiplication and breeding programmes for increasing fodder productivity.Keywords

Total sugar concentration in the above ground (live) shoots ranged from 4.18% (August) to 11.99% (February) on Site I, 3.46% (September) to 11.98% (Februay) on Site II and 4.49% (April) to 2.67% (February) on Site III. For standing dead vegetation, it showed a range of 1.79% (September) to 6.34% (January) in Site I, 1.7% (August) to 5.18% (February) in Site II and 1.79% (August) to 4.78% (September) in Site III. For litter compartment, the percentage ranged from 1.04% (November) to 5.07% (September) in Site I, 0.63% (December/ January) to 3.57% (February) on Site II and 0.92% (April) to 6.28% (June) on Site III. In below-ground parts it varied between 1.27% (September) to 11.46% (February). 1.96% (September) to 8.18% (June) and 2.36% (August) to l0.02% (March) in Sites I-III respectively.- Variability in Fodder Quality Traits of Anogeissus latifolia Wall. in Himachal Pradesh

Variability studies in fodder quality parameter in Anogeissus latifolia Wall (Family-Combretaceae) was undertaken in four districts of Himachal Pradesh viz., Solan, Sirmour, Kangra and Una at eight sites under different elevations in three diameter classes viz., 10-20 cm (small) 20-30 cm (medium) and 30-40 cm (Large). Proximate principles of leaf fodder in S4 (Chaoban, Distt Sirmour) and S1 (Jadli, Distt Solan) exhibited maximum variation in almost all nutritional traits. Study concluded indicating that direct selection from the altitude ranging between 600 m to 1000 m amsl in large diameter class (30-40 cm) is recommended for the improvement of species and to have superior genetic gains for further breeding works.Keywords
