Popis: A study was conducted at Kadawa Experimental Research Station of the Institute for Agricultural Research Kano during the 2010/2011 dry season to determine forage yield of lablab, nutritive quality of lablab forage and maize grain yield using five (5) different planting patterns and three (3) irrigation frequencies. A 5 x 3 factorial experiment in a complete randomized block design with a split plot arrangement was used. The results indicated that there was a positive correlation between weeks after sowing lablab and plant height (R2 = 0.88). Alternate rows showed 35% increase in forage yield (P
