Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2021-22, at Buffalo Research Station, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh to study the impact of hybrid Napier cultivars on the performance and productivity of the Coastal region of Andhra Pradesh. Among the nine different cultivars, Super Napier resulted in Significantly higher in plant height, number of leaves plants-1, number of tillers plant-1, leaf to stem ratio and green fodder yield which was followed by the red Napier cultivar in the above parameters.

Keywords

Hybrid Napier, Green fodder yield and Fodder cultivars

Conclusion

The above investigation clearly inferred that Super Napier (T3) was found to be superior with respect to growth attributes and registered significantly higher green fodder yield compared to other varieties tried on sandy loam soils of the Coastal region of Andhra Pradesh at Buffalo Research Station, Venkatramannagudem.
