etween two main crops, improvement in physico-chemical properties of soil, additionalyield from system and enhanced farm profit.Constraints in adoption: Lack of technical knowhow and availability of short durationvarieties.Scope for commercialisation/up scaling: This technology can be commercialized innon fodder growing areas and where requirement for green fodder is higher for feedingthe dairy and drafting animals.2.5. Forage production under orchards and groovesIn our country, area under horticultural crops gives ample scope for interspace utilizationand system diversification indifferent regions. Some fodder cropslike Guinea grass, signal grass andCongo signal grass are either shadeloving or tolerant to shade. Thesecrops find scope for growing under ornear to the horticultural trees andgrooves.Adaptation area: Horticultural andplantation crops areaComponents /input requirements:Horticultural/plantation crops, perennial grasses, perennial legumes.System description: Combinations of Guinea grass/N-B hybrid + Desmanthes (3:1)Brief package of practice: Package of practices of important component is given intable-9.Table 9: Package of practices of important component cropsCrops andtheirvarietiesSowing/plantingtimeSeed rate andspacing (cm)I.
