Growth and prospective forage yields of two cenchrus species in relation to bio- and organic fertilization [electronic resource].

Includes references.

The Growth response and forage yield of two Cenchrus species, i.e, Cenchrus ciliaris and Cenchras setigerus to different bio- and organic fertilization levels was studied. The experiment was set up during 2002 and 2003 seasons at Maryut experimental station. The study comprised in addition to the above mentioned Cenchrus species three organic manure levels (0.20.40 m3/fed) and three biofertilization treatments (Azospirillum, Azolobacter and without biofertilization as a control) in split-split plot design with three replications. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: I.Data obtained indicate that C. ciliaris was superior as compared to C. serigertrs in all growth parameters and yield.
