Abstract

The present study on evaluation of low-cost hydroponics using different crops as a supplementation for fodder for livestock was conducted at Kumaraguru Institute of Agriculture, Tamil Nadu in 2019. From the study, it was concluded that on 8th day, shoot biomass per plant was recorded maximum in maize (55 g) and minimum in ragi (37 g). Highest fodder production was recorded in maize (8.6 kg). Maize also resulted in highest B-C ratio of 1:2.8. The results showed that maize was superior over other crops in case of shoot biomass per plant production, fodder production and B-C ratio.
