Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Experimental
farm, college of Agricultural studies, Sudan University of
Science
and
Technology,
Shambat.
Five
ratios
of
intercropping between Rhodes grass and Clitoria were used
in this study.
The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with three replications. Seven different
characters were measured for consequence cuts.
These
2
characters were plant height (cm), leaf area (c m ), number
of leaves/ plant, leaf to srem ratio, fresh forage yield t\ha,
dry forage yield t\ha and crude protein for the third cut. The
analysis of variance revealed non-significant difference
between the four studied ratios for the three cuts for all
growth, quality and yield (fresh and dry) except the dry
forage yield of the second cut, it was significant (P ≤ 0.05).
For fresh and dry forage yield in all the three cuts for five
treatments, the range of the forage yield was 46.83 to 62.66
t\ha for fresh yield and 6.11 to 7.3 t\ha for dry yield. The
range of crude protein was 12.25 to17.50 for the third cut.
