Is the same fodder available throughout the year or only during some seasons?
The availability of fodder varies throughout the year. Some fodder plants like Napier grass (Elephant grass) can grow in multiple seasons and provide year-round fodder. However, other fodder crops may be seasonal and available only during specific growing periods. Farmers often store fodder or grow different fodder crops in different seasons to ensure continuous supply for livestock.
Explanation
The chapter includes Table 2.5 for recording observations of biodiversity in fodder plants, with the example of Napier grass. Students are guided to observe and record the seasonal availability of different fodder plants during their field visits to understand patterns in fodder availability.
