Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc fertilization on yield and quality of kharif fodder -A review

ABSTRACT

Nutrient management is one of the most important factors in crop production. The review of knowledge regarding the use of optimum dose of nutrients especially nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc is of prime concern. The literature regarding effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc on growth, yield and quality of kharif fodder is very scanty, therefore, findings of this paper and views of active investigators, theoreticians and practitioners on growth, yield and quality of kharif fodders viz. teosinite, maize, bajra and sorghum will be useful.
