ABSTRACT
Herbage yield and quality of Cenchrus ciliaris by
inter-cropping with Macropitilium atropurpureum was
studied with six different treatments of grass legume mixture during 1982.The green and dry matter yield was
found significantly higher in monoculture pure form as
compared to the other treatments throughout the growing
period. Legume in the pure form as well as in mixture
significantly increased the total soil nitrogen in soil.
The increase in crude protein contents was associated
with the increase of legume in the grass legume mixture.
Similarly increased of crude fiber was found with higher
proportion of grass.
