The majority of soils of the degraded forest land are infertile, acidic and low in available
Phosphate, Sulfur, and possibly Molybdenum. A study was done to know the effect of
inoculation and treatment with line in production yield of Stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis cv.
Cook). On an average 34.8 and 37.5 t/ha of green forage was producedfrom inoculated Stylo
in the years 1997 and 1998 respectively. This production was significantly higher {P<0.05)
than control (without inocult;Ztion and lime application) Compared among the districts,
significant difference {P< 0. 05) was observed with Ramechhap district producing lowest 1 7. 0
and 18.0 tlha in control group against the highest yield of 48 and 49.2 t/h in Makwanpur
district. The green forage yield was recorded comparatively higher in second year than in the
.first year in almost all the treatments and districts.
