Livestock sector plays an important role in the national economy and in the socioeconomic development of the country. Green fodder provides nutrients for milch animals at cheaper cost. Inspite of its importance, in the country, green fodder production has not been given proper place in the cropping pattern in providing proper nutrition to livestock. In view of this, a study was undertaken to analyse the feed and fodder management systems in periurban and rural areas of Belgaum district.

In India and other countries of the Mediterranean region, it is primarily used as a spice crop (Acharya et al., 2008) to the flavour and nutritive value of food. Its fresh tender leaves and stems are consumed as curried vegetable. Commercially, it has high economic value as food, fodder and medicine. For medicinal and cosmetic purpose, its leaf and seed is used to prepare extract and powder. The leaves both fresh and dried are used in meat curries and several vegetable dishes.

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)R.Br.] one of the common millets grown as a nutrient-rich food source for human and as a fodder crop for livestock. Among the several diseases, the blast caused by Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc. has emerged as a serious disease affecting both forage and grain production in pearl millet resulting economic loss.Survey was carried out in major pearl millet growing districts of Madhya Pradesh viz., Morena, Bhind, Gwalior, Sheopur, Shivpuri, Datia, jhabua, Alirajpur presented in Table 7 to find out the incidence of Blast during July to nov.

Subabul is an important protein rich tree fodder which its lopping is extensively used as cattle fodder. It is drought resistant tree, generally grown as border or bund crop in farmers and its lopping is cut for green fodder for animals. For this purpose tree fodder cultivating seems to be a promising strategy for livestock farmers. A field experiment was conducted to find out the relative performance of tree fodder growth at various stages of cutting and suitable lopping interval of subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) during 2019-2020.

Effect of date of sowing and cutting schedule on fodder yield and quality of oats was studied at two location during rabi 2016-17. Treatments comprised of 4 sowing dates (10th & 25th of Oct. and Nov.) and two cutting schedules (one cut 50/60 DAS). Results revealed that crop sown on 1st and 2nd date gave similar fodder yield but significantly higher than the later dates. Cutting the crop 65 days after sowing produced higher fodder yield than cutting 50 DAS, though with slight deterioration in quality.

A pot experiment was laid out to investigate the impact of different levels of Lead and FYM on phosphorus uptake by plant components and total phosphorus uptake by the crop in texturally different soil. Treatments were comprised of five level of Pb (0, 5, 10 20 and 40 ppm) applied as Pb (NO3)2 and two levels of FYM (0 and 10 t ha-1 ) applied on two texturally different soils (Loamy sand and Clayey soils).

Pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is largely grown for grain and fodder purpose under those situations where other crops generally fail. Pearlmillet as a food crop is limited to the developing countries in Asia, and particularly in Africa and ranked sixth in the world followed by rice, wheat, maize, barley and sorghum (Anonymous, 2010-11).

The current work was focused on evaluating 24 sorghum accessions for fodder yield potential and nutritional quality during summer 2015 in the Department of Forage Crops, TNAU, Coimbatore. Plant samples were collected at 50% flowering stage and evaluated for nine fodder yield and 13 forage quality parameters. Grounded samples were used for assessing the fodder quality.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important cash crop and there is a demand for simultaneous increase in the productivity of cotton, edible oilseeds and fodders to fulfil the diversified needs of growing population. For this purpose, cotton-based intercropping seems to be a promising strategy. Short duration legume fodders are potential sources of nutrients during summer especially atmospheric nitrogen fixing which are supplement of inorganic fertilizers.
