Abstrakt: Climate change constitutes a threat for the sustainability of fodder crops production. With the aim of introducing vetiver grass as a resilient forage alternative in the Mediterranean basin, a field trial was set up at three-consecutive-year field experiments (2015, 2016, and 2017) in the North of Tunisia. The effects of irrigation regimes and planting density on the growth parameters, fodder yield, and quality of vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioidesL.) ‘Sunshine’ were assessed.
