Yield of Mott grass as affected by varying levels of nitrogen and farmyard manure application

Abstract: The main objective of present study was to determine the effect of different levels of nitrogen (N) and farmyard manure (FYM) on yield of Mott grass (Pennisetum purpureum) at different cuttings. Treatments were T1= control; T2= 24 t FYM ha -1 ; T3= 300 kg N ha -1 ; T4= 150 kg N+12 t FYM ha -1 ; T5= 200 kg N + 8 t FYM ha -1 and T6= 225 kg N + 6 t FYM ha -1 . Production potential of Mott grass was determined on the basis of green fodder and dry matter yield. Application of N or FYM increased both green fodder and Dry Matter yield significantly over control in all the three cuttings. Crop fertilized @ 300 kg N ha -1 produced the maximum green fodder yield (62.10-66.27 t ha -1) and Dry Matter yield (14.94-15.32 t ha -1 ) in all the three cuttings. The difference between T3 and T6 was non-significant. Similarly, T4 and T5
