An investigation was conducted in the Instructional Farm of College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Trivandrum to study the shade response of guinea grass varieties and to assess the optimum potash requirement for maximum fodder quality under different shade intensities. Results of the experiment revealed that quality parameters of the forage significantly improved as shade progresses. Maximum crude protein was realized at lower level of potassium. Among the varieties, Haritha registered higher crude protein and chlorophyll contents.
