Water requirement:1 Forage crops needs very low
amount of water.
2 It can survive in water stress
condition
3 wide adaptability
4 If irrigation possible then 2-3
cuts may takes.

MAJOR CONSTRAINTS
1.Non-availability of suitable land for forage
crops.
2. Inadequate genetic resource base
3.Lack of high yielding varieties
4.Lack of appropriate cropping system for
marginal areas.
5. Inadequate availability of quality seeds

6. Wide gap between technology
generation and its transfer to users
7. Poor productivity of existing livestock.
8. Lack of farmers motivation in growing
fodder.
9. Absence of marketing and processing
facilities for milk and milk products etc.
