Abstract

The row spacing of 45 cm recorded significantly higher green forage (36.77 t ha−1), and dry matter (2.33 t ha−1) yield. Among the genotypes, GA-1 produced significantly higher green forage (37.64 t ha−1) and dry matter (2.59 t ha−1) yield. Seed rate of 2.5 kg ha produced significantly higher green forage (36.30 t ha−1) and dry matter (2.33 t ha−1) yield. Significantly higher green forage (43.53 t ha−1) and dry matter (3.01 t ha−1) yield was recorded in 45 cm row spacing of genotype GujaratAmaranth (GA-1) with seed rate of 2.5 kg per ha.
