 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, R.V.S.K.V.V., Gwalior (M.P.) during Kharif season 2014-15. It was laid out in factorial randomized block design (F.R.B.D.) replicated three times with 12 treatment combinations Sorghum varieties were grown by considering recommended package of practices.  At both cutting, treatment 50% of RDF + 5 t FYM + Azotobacter + PSB (F3) produced significantly maximum green fodder yield (400 and 320 q/ha by Ist and IInd cut, respectively) than rest of the other fertility levels. At both cut, maximum green fodder yield was recorded with V1 F3 (723 q/ha) followed by V2 F3 (719 q/ha) which are statistically at par from each other and significantly higher over rest of other treatment combination.

Key words:  Sorghum, Green Fodder, Yield
