Abstract: The experiment was conducted at New area Farm, Department of Forage crops, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to evaluate dynamics in nutritive value of fodder crops under hydroponics as influenced by nutrient foliar spray during October - December 2017. The treatments included two factors viz. crops- fodder maize (C1), grain maize (C2), grain cowpea (C3) and horse gram (C4) and foliar nutrition- control (without any spray) (N0), 19: 19: 19 @ 1% (N1), DAP @ 0.5% + KCL @ 0.5% (N2), panchagavya @ 3% (N3), and vermiwash @ 1% (N4). From this study, it can be concluded that growing of grain maize with foliar application of 19:19:19 NPK @ 1% found to be technically viable and economically feasible option for attaining maximum green fodder yield and nutritional quality under hydroponic fodder production system.
