Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying levels of irrigation volume,
irrigation frequency and Natron (Kanwa) on chemical composition of Chamaecrista
rotundifolia forage. The experiment was laid out in a split plot with 3×2×2 factorial
arrangement, with three replications. Results indicated that the crude protein, ether extract and
ash increased (P
