Effect of organic, inorganic sources of nitrogen and molybdenum on yield and quality of Bajra-Napier hybrid grass (CO.2).

摘要

Investigations were undertaken at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, to study the effect of organic (FYM) and inorganic sources (urea, CAN) of nitrogen on yield and quality of Bajra-Napier hybrid grass [Pennisetum glaucum X P. purpureum]. Tiller numbers and dry matter yield were increased by joint application of 75 kg N ha-1 as urea with 2.5 t of FYM ha-1. Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) gave a higher percentage crude protein, whereas crude protein yield was maximum when 75 kg N ha-1 was applied as urea with 2.5 t FYM ha-1. Foliar spraying of molybdenum had no influence on the growth and yield, but it increased crude protein yield.
