Abstract
The field experiment was conducted at Post Graduate Research Institute in Animal
Sciences, Kattupakkam, Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu, India during Feb.to June of
2017-18 to study the irrigation frequency for CN hybrid grass and asses the growth and
yield of Cumbu Napier Hybrid grass variety CO-4. The experiment was laid out with
Randomised Block Design. The treatment consist of different irrigation frequency such as
daily irrigation (T1) alternate day irrigation (T2) once in two days (T3) , once in four days
(T4), once in six days (T5) once in eight days (T6) once in ten days (T7), once in twelve
days (T8) and once in fourteen days (T9) were compared. Among the different irrigation
frequency, irrigation at once in four days and irrigation at once in six days significantly
increased the growth and yield characters, reduced the cutting frequency, increased
number of cuttings and yield of Cumbu Napier Hybrid Grass. These two treatments were
comparable with each other. The maximum plant height, number of tillers hill- 1, Fodder
yield were higher in these treatments. The fodder yield was lower in fourteen days of
irrigation and twelve days of irrigation frequency.
