Influence of Nitrogen Application and Stage of Harvesting on the Dry Matter Production of Sorghum Sudanense-Lablab purpureus Mixtures in Central Sudan
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
The effects of cropping system, nitrogen application and harvesting stage on the quantity and quality of the forage produced by Sudan grass-lablab mixtures were studied in central Sudan. Mixing increased the number of tillers plant-1 of Sudan grass and the plant dry weight of both crops. Application of nitrogen increased the number of tillers and dry weight plant-1 of Sudan grass but had no significant effect on the growth parameters of lablab. Growth parameters of both crops were appreciably increased by harvesting at the milk-ripe stage of Sudan grass. The largest total dry matter yield was obtained from a mixture of 20 kg Sudan grass and 40 kg lablab ha-l, but the largest protein yield was obtained from sole lablab.
