Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Main Forage Research Station farm, Anand Agricultural
University, Anand to find out the " EFFECT OF FARM YARD MANURE AND FERTILITY
LEVELS ON FORAGE YIELD AND QUALITY OF LUCERNE (Medicago sativa L.)" during
rabi season of 2003. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture having good
drainage with 7.6 pH. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications.
Twelve treatment combinations comprised three levels of farm yard manure (0 t FYM/ha, 10 t
FYM/ha and 20 t FYM/ha) and four fertility levels (No fertilizer, 25 Kg N/ha + 25 Kg K2O/ha
applied basally at sowing, 50 Kg N/ha + 50 Kg K2O/ha applied basally at sowing, 50Kg N/ha +
50 Kg K2O/ha applied in split i.e., 50 per cent at sowing and 50 per cent after first cut).
