Effects of sowing methods and seeding rates on chemical composition of Tephrosia bracteolata
In the sub humid and semi‐arid zones of West Africa, ruminant nutrition is severely impaired by feed especially in the dry season.The use of improved pasture particularly those based on high yielding tropical legumes were advocated as one of the ways of achieving year round good quality forage.Tephrosia bracteolata is a leguminous annual plant which can be fed green or cut and processed into hay for ruminant animals.Omokanye et al,(2001) reported that among the factors influencing the production and quality of grazed pasture are seeding rate, sowing methods, pasture species, climate, fertilizer application and age of the pasture.Hence the objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of sowing methods and seeding rate on crude protein and ash contents of T.bracteolata.
