“…Similar findings of yield reduction due to delay in last cut were reported by several other workers (Sinha and Rai, 1995;Singh and Kang, 2004;Puri et al, 2007). The present data is in conformity with the findings of Kumar and Patel (2017), Surinder et al (2019) and Singh et al (2019.…”

A field experiment was conducted in the field of Seed Technology Research Unit, MPKV, Rahuri during rabi season 2014-15 for the study of the effect of normal and late sowing, last cutting regimes and nutritional sprays at the time of flowering on the seed yield and quality attributes of Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.). It was observed that the yield attributing characters viz., number of flowers plant -1 (41), number of seeds flower -1 (52), seed yield plot -1 (226 g), seed yield ha -1 (1.34 q) and days to 50% flowering (116) were significantly superior at normal sowing time i.e. 15 th October, and with the last cut 10 days before normal last cut i.e. 18 th Feb. and nutritional sprays of KNO 3 @ 2% and Borax @ 100 ppm (separate spray) at the reproductive stage over the other treatment combinations. Similarly, seed quality parameters viz., germination (94.00%) was significantly superior in the same treatment combination. For higher seed yield and quality seed production in Maharashtra sowing at normal sowing time i.e. 15 th October last cut 10 days before normal last cut i.e. 18 th Feb. and nutritional sprays of KNO 3 @ 2% and Borax @ 100 ppm (separate spray) at the reproductive stage.

“…These results are similar with the findings of Chaudhary et al (2020). Kumar et al (2017) concluded that the effect of sowing dates on plant growth parameters in alfa-alfa indicates a quantitatively more significant difference. Height of plant (69.46 cm), fresh weight of fodder (609.43 kg/ha) and dry weight of fodder (128.26 kg/ha) were significantly greater in the crop sown on 1 st July, but these qualities were decreased (8%, 4.2% and 8.6%, respectively) in 15 th August date sowing.…”

Livestock is the backbone of agriculture, in spite of that, its performance is poor with low productivity, the reason is lack of nutritious fodder in sufficient quantities that reduces milk production in cattle and causes health issues. The nutritional quality and yield of fodder crops can be improved by using appropriate agronomic practices such as adequate tillage operations, proper/timely water management, weed management, nutrient management, sowing at the right time with the right seed rate, timely harvesting and so on. In this review paper, several research and review papers have been studied to understand the impact of different agronomic practices on quality and productivity of fodder crops. When compared to zero tillage, the use of tillage operations such as primary, secondary, conventional and deep tillage increases dry matter and green fodder yield. Irrigation at critical phases and on a frequent basis boosts the organic matter (OM) content and dry matter of feed. In comparison to late harvesting, early harvested forages have higher DMD (Dry matter digestibility) and CP (crude protein) content. Nitrogen application certainly fostered crop growth and development resulting in higher green fodder yield with improved fodder quality. When it comes to raising the DMD % of fodder crops, intercropping is crucial. DMD % in intercropping of Maize + cowpea (2:1) is higher as compared to sole maize and sole cowpea. Fodder yield and quality are reduced as a result of late sowing. Therefore, we conclude that agronomic interventions have a significant impact on the primary and secondary quality characteristics of fodder crops. As a result, proper methods for improving nutritional quality and overall crop productivity should be implemented in the fields.

“…In addition, we found that MtPAL2 was down regulated as the seed geminated, while the other PAL genes were up regulated. This phenomenon suggests that MtPAL genes play different roles in Medicago seed germination (Moawed, 2016;Kumar et al, 2017). The qRT-PCR results for MtPAL genes showed similar expression patterns as microarray data analysis indicated that microarray data are still useful for gene quantity.…”

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in plants and supplies precursors for a variety of secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, lignins and stilbenes. The first draft of the full Medicago truncatula genome assembly has been released. However it is observed that, the PAL gene family from Medicago truncatula (MtPAL genes) has not been characterized in detail. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the Medicago truncatula PAL gene family is presented, including chromosomal locations, phylogenetic analyses, gene structures, three-dimensional (3D) structures and expression patterns. Six Medicago truncatula PAL genes that encode PAL proteins were identified in the Medicago truncatula genome. It was shown that MtPAL genes are distributed on four chromosomes. Dynamic expression patterns of MtPAL genes were observed in different tissues and abiotic stresses, suggesting that MtPAL genes may play important roles in the regulation of development and stress responses in Medicago truncatula.
