Episode Synopsis

This episode discusses research paper which investigates the performance of various fodder crops, such as cowpea, stylo, and sweet Sudan grass, in problematic soils with high salinity and alkalinity.
The authors conducted a field experiment to determine the impact of these adverse soil conditions on the growth, biomass yield, and germination of different fodder crops.
The study found that sweet Sudan grass yielded the highest biomass, followed by CoFS-29 and Panthchari-6, while stylo had the lowest biomass yield. This information can help farmers in coastal areas with saline soils select appropriate fodder crops for optimal livestock production.
