Abstract: 

Suitable harvesting time for quality forage peoved to be September for legumes viz. M. lathyrus, A. scarabaeoides, Memosa invisa, S. hamata and grasses viz. C. ciliaris, C. setigerus, S. nervosum, Crysopogon fulvus, October for tothers viz. Clitoria ternatea, Desmanthus virgatus, Pueraria phaseoloides, S. guianensis, S. humilis, D. intortum, D. axillais, Styzolobium deeringianum and Vigna luteola, besides for grasses like Dichanthium annulatum, Bothrichloa pertusa, while December for legumes such as Glycine javonica and Centrosema pubescens.Quadratic equation have been established for prediction of levels of herbage removed by measuring the grazed swards. It was found that the height weight relationship is better represented by the parabolic and quadratic curves rather than power or logarthimic curve. Separate height weight tables are required for same soecies grown under different environments and for different species grown under the same agro climatic condition. Initially quadratic equations have been established for grasses viz. B. pertusa, C. ciliris, C. fulvus, P. antidotale, D. annulatum, H. contortus, I. Laxum, S. nervosum
