| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was aimed to produce fodders by hydroponic method using seeds commonly available in Tamil Nadu and to identify the most economical seed source for green fodder production by hydroponic method. Different seeds such as yellow maize, horse gram, sun hemp, jowar, ragi, cowpea, foxtail millet and bajra were selected for the study. Productivity, nutritive value, growth rate, biomass yield and economics of different hydroponic green fodders were studied. lt was observed that sun hemp (10 kg), horse gram (6 kg) and cowpea (6.6 kg) has significantly higher biomass yield; yellow maize (4.6 kg) and foxtail millet (4.5 kg) has moderate, biomass yield; jowar (3.7 kg), ragi (3.5 kg) and bajra (3.0 kg) has lower biomass yield per kg of seed used. | |
