Effect of nitrogen fertilisation and cutting frequency on the yield and regrowth of Panicum maximum Jacq in West Cameroon

摘要

Ruminant production in most tropical countries relies heavily on the availability of grazing land.However, with the high population densities in some of these regions and the emergence of out of season cropping on riparian areas,all arable lands are occupied throughout the year.The alternative left for the animal farmers, is forage cropping and appropriate management techniques.The present work was designed to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilisation and the cutting frequency on the yield and regrowth of Panicum maximum in West Cameroon.
