Abstract:
The experiment in Qarahta Research Station – GCSAR in 2019. The objective was to determine the best date for planting the panicum crop and compare wet and dry green yield with millet and some qualitative traits. The experiment was laid according to a split plot design with two replications, wet and dry green yields, and protein, Carbohydrates, fibers, and fats percentages were studied. The Results showed the superiority of the second sowing date (15 April) at 1st and 3rd sowing dates in the wet and dry green yields with values (26.92 , 6.62 t/h) respectively, also the panicum crop showed the superiority at millet crop in the wet and dry green yields with values (26.80 , 6.66 t/h) respectively. While the first cutting showed superiority at other cutting in the wet and dry green yields with values (34.89 , 8.67 t/h) ) respectively, while millet had the highest protein and carbohydrates percentage (15.4, 42.89) respectively, while the panicum had the highest fat percentage (1.746 %). The panicum crop is recommended to plant on 15 April to produce a high amount of wet and dry green yields.
Keywords: Panicum, Millet, Green yield, Qualitative characteristics, Nutrition content.
