This study conducted on three fodder crops namely pigeon pea (Cajanus Cajan (L.) Millsp.), fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)) and Maralfalfa (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), aimed to study the variation in fodder production of these three crops after three cuts and to compare the fodder yields of these three crops. Apart from fodder sorghum, fodder production of all crops increased significantly at the second cut. However, at the third cut, carried out during the rainy season, fodder production of all three crops increased by two to six times compared to the first cut. Maralfalfa with 69.34 tons of dry matter per hectare, gave the highest total fodder production after three cuts. A fodder production that is more than twice the total production of sorghum and more than three times the total production of pigeon peas.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude conduite sur trois cultures fourragères à savoir le pois d’Angole (Cajanus Cajan (L.) Millsp.), le sorgho fourrager (Sorghum bicolor (L.)) et le Maralfalfa (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), avait pour objectifs d’étudier la variation de la production fourragère de ces trois cultures au bout de trois coupe et de comparer les rendements fourragers de ces trois cultures. A part le sorgho fourrager, la production fourragère de toutes les cultures a augmenté significativement à la deuxième coupe. Cependant à la troisième coupe, effectuée durant la saison des pluies, la production fourragère de toutes les trois cultures a été multipliée de deux jusqu’à six fois par rapport à la première coupe. Le maralfalfa avec 69,34 tonnes de matières sèches par hectare, a donné la plus grande production fourragère totale au bout de trois coupes. Une production fourragère qui fait plus de deux fois la production totale du sorgho et plus de trois fois la production totale du pois d’Angole.
Author Keywords: Cultures fourragères, saison sèches chaudes, Sahel.
