Abstract:

The possibility of new forage brassica plants in Ilam were assessed as a randomized complete block design in four replications. The treatments included plants (Perko, Buko, clover, oilseed radish and combination of three plants (Ramtil, Phasilia, clover) respectively. The results showed that there were significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) the forage yield and percentage of organic carbon after planting. There was observed significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) in terms of plant height, total dry weight, protein content, protein yield, the yield of digestible protein. Perko varieties in terms of fresh and dry matter yield with 69,586 kg of fresh produce and 7147 kg dry matter and Buko varieties in terms of protein percentage and protein digestibility with 23.36 and 18.724 were superiority compared to the rest of the varieties.
