Description The performance of grasses and
legumes in intercropping over its sole
counterparts for the enhanced quality
fodder production in the arid region
of Kachchh, India was studied. The
results showed that without adding
any extra inputs cost on resource
poor farmers of arid eco-system,
intercropping of grass-legume yielded
more quality fodder over its sole
counterparts. Thus, it may be said
that grass-legume intercropping
system may be the best viable option
for enhanced quality fodder
production for the arid condition of
the Kachchh for overall development
of livestock sector. The findings of
the study are applicable to all the arid
regions of the world because
enhanced quality fodder is main
requirement for the arid system,
wherein agriculture systems are
livestock-centric and livestock
remains main source of livelihood for
the inhabitants.
