Effect of Fertilizer on Yield and Chemical Compositions of Napier Grass (Pennisetumpurpureum)

Abstract

          The research was conducted to investigate effect of fertilizer on yield and chemical compositions of Napier grass. Pak Chong and Imperial Napier grass are planted in average of 40x40 m. The 2x2 factorial experiments according to the completely randomized design were used for this experiment. Pak Chong and Imperial Napier grass, the grass was apply fertilizer of goat manure and chemical fertilizer (15-15-15) and being cut at the age of 70, 30 and 30 days. Fresh weight, dry matter weight Pak Chong and Imperial Napier grass were not significantly differential (p>0.05). The samples were used for chemical analyses, It was found that Pak Chong and Imperial Napier grass did not significantly differential the value of the CP, NDF and ADF (P>0.05). But chemical fertilizer increased CP, NDF and ADF were significantly differential (p<0.01)
