Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during summer season of the year 2020 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the effect of cutting and nutrient management on yield and economic of summer fodder sorghum under north Gujarat condition. Nine treatment combinations comprising three levels of cutting management and three levels of nutrient management were evaluated in randomized block design with factorial concept with three replications. Three cutting of forage sorghum registered significantly higher green and dry forage yield with highest net realization. 125% RDF registered significantly higher plant height, leaf length, stem girth, number of leaves per plant, leaf area and leaf: stem ratio in all cuts. Significantly higher total green and dry forage yield were recorded with 125% RDF, at par with 100% RDF. Similarly highest net realization and B: C ratio was registered with application of 125% RDF.
