Abstract

The yield and economics of fodders in custard apple-based horti-pastoral system were recorded in this study. The experiment was conducted with two fodders in main plots and 7 nutrient management practices along with control in sub-plots in a split plot design and it was replicated thrice in between the custard apple trees. M. maximus recorded significantly higher total GFY and total DFY, and significantly higher net returns over C. ciliaris. 75% RDN + 25% N through PGLM showed significantly higher yields and net returns, which had parity with T6, T2 and T7 treatments.
