Two cuts were taken in the months of September and November in each year. Measurements were made of seven morphological characteristics and the nutritive value of the grasses. The total green fodder yield was highest in C. ciliaris cv. IGFRI in 2003 and in C. ciliaris cv. CAZRI 75 in 2004. Total dry matter (DM) yield was highest in P. maximum cv. IGFRI and C. ciliaris cv. CAZRI 75 in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Crude protein and digestible DM yields were highest in C. ciliaris cv. CAZRI 75. It was concluded that C. ciliaris cv. CAZRI 75 can tie recommended as the one with the most potential among the studied grasses for use in the arid regions of south-west Haryana, India.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000244523600011</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 140RKTimes Cited: 3Cited Reference Count: 20Cited References: *AOAC, 1988, CHANG OFF METH AN BARNES RF, 1971, J ANIM SCI, V33, P881 BURTON GW, 1975, FORAGE RES, V1, P23 DOGRA KK, 1979, FORAGE RES, V5, P49 GUPTA AK, 1984, FORAGE, V10, P77 GUPTA PC, 1976, FORAGE RES, V2, P121 GUPTA SK, 1992, P NAT S STRAT FOR PR, P47 KAMALAK A, 2005, ASIAN AUSTRAL J ANIM, V18, P203 MAGOON ML, 1974, P 12 INT GRASSL C, P882 MEHRA KL, 1968, INDIAN J GENETICS A, V28, P225 MELKANIA NP, 1989, FORAGE RES, V15, P54 MINSON DJ, 1975, FORAGE RES, V1, P1 NORTON BW, 2003, FORAGE TREE LEGUMES, P171 PANSE VG, 1967, STAT METHODS AGR WOR PHILOMINA D, 2000, MADRAS AGR J, V86, P86 RUIZ MA, 2004, PUBLICACION TECNICA, V54, P36 SAINI ML, 2005, FORAGE RES, V30, P217 SUBRAMANIAM S, 1992, P NAT S STRAT FOR PR, P86 TILLEY JMA, 1963, J BRIT GRASSLAND SOC, V18, P104 YUSUFZAI AS, 1999, GRASSES GUJARATSaini, M.
