Abstract

Yields of vegetation, dry matter and crude protein from some short duration cereal crops are reported. Three varieties of bajra, two varieties of sorghum, Teosinte and local maize were studied. Teosinte (Euchlem mexicana Schrad), yielded maximum green vegetation, dry matter and crude protein when harvested two times in 135 days. It yielded 40226 kg., 8663 kg, and 1002 kg. of green, dry matter and crude proteen respectively, expressed in terms of Kg./ha. in 135 days.
