Agronomic properties and nutritional profile of guinea-stylo mixture sown at different planting pattern

Guinea-Stylo was established to study the effect of different planting pattern on forage production, agronomic properties and nutritive quality of Guinea-Stylo mixture. The varieties are Stylosanthes guianensis CIAT 184 and Megathyrsus maximus mixture were assessed at ladang 2, University Putra Mala...
