Conclusion
Among the rainfed and partially irrigated situations, under partially Irrigated with intervention
was the best promising IFS, which generated the highest system productivity, employment
generation and net returns over rainfed situation.

The origin place of ramie is Malaysia. Ramie belongs to Urticaceae family & it is a perennial
fodder and fibre crop grown in large areas of North Eastern states of India and Southeast Asian
countries. The ramie plants have many herbal properties like vitamins, macro & micro minerals
and other medicinal properties as per the available literature. The recent studies have shown
that ramie has high content of protein and it provides around 21-25% crude protein. Out of the
net sown area in country, 4.5% has been attributed to fodder crops. To satisfy the rapidly
increasing demand of livestock products as well as to contribute to the government’s strategies
to double the farmer’s income, it seems to be a need to increase the quantity and quality of
fodder to support livestock. Better the quality of fodder better will be the livestock
productivity. At the current level of growth in forage resources, there will be 18.4% and 13.2%
deficit in green and dry fodder respectively in the year 2050 as per the estimates of ICAR
vision report 2050.The use of ramie as a fodder may also be cost effective for providing protein
rich fodder to livestock species for enhancing productive performance as well as it will also
