Paper Summary

Livestock farming is important in India, but milk production is lower due to poor feeding quality. Berseem is a popular fodder crop with many benefits. Phosphorus and zinc are crucial for its growth. Phosphorus helps with metabolic activities, while zinc is important for yield and quality. Biofertilizers can help make these nutrients more available to the plant. Farmers can improve milk production by ensuring berseem crops have enough phosphorus and zinc.
