Abstract/Description

FFS is established in Oman to demonstrate cultural practices of cultivating Buffel grass and promote its adoption as a forage cultivar in place of Rhodes grass. Similar project (also in Oman) is a FFS of spineless cactus, with the objectives to spread the fodder cactus accession pads to different APRP countries and to encourage farmers to come forward to grow fodder cactus in their sub-marginal fields.
