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
