| Description |
This experiment was carried out to assess botanical composition, DMY and chemical composition of Fogera upland natural pastureland under different application rates of N fertilizer and harvesting stages of natural pasture at smallholder farmers condition. The experiment was conducted using 3 x 4 factorial experiment arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications and the treatment consisted three stages of harvesting (60, 90 and 120 days) and four levels of N fertilizer application (0, 23, 46 and 69 kg N/ha) on the natural pasture land. The botanical composition of the natural pasture land that have been identified at the experimental site included thirteen grasses, seven annual legumes and seven other herbaceous species belonging to different families. The influence of stages of harvesting was significant (P
