A Half-yearly Peer Reviewed Journal of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute
Grasses such as Blue panic, Guinea grass, Green panic, Rhodes grass, Signal grass, three cultivars of Buffel grass, two cultivars of Setaria and Legumes like Centro, Greenleaf desmodium, Highworth dolichos, Rongai dolichos, Archer dolichos, Tinaroo glycine, Siratro, Cook stylo, Schofield stylo, Endeavour stylo, Townsville stylo, Verano stylo were grown at six Silvicultural Research centres of Bangladesh to study their herbage production. Among grasses Signal grass, Guinea grass, Green panic and the cultivars of Setaria produced higher amount of herbage in comparison to other grasses. Legumes like Schofield stylo, Cook stylo, Endeavour stylo, Townsville stylo and Verano stylo produced higher yields of herbage in comparison to other legumes. These promising fodder grasses and legumes have important bearings on multiple land use in agriculture as well as in forestry.
