Abstract
The possibility of using the valuable fodder crop Caucasian goat’s rue in fodder production in the Lower Volga region is shown. The main parameters of the formation of high-yielding stands on irrigated lands of the region as well as symbiotic activity and photosynthetic activity of the crops are determined; an assessment of the energy and protein nutritive value of the biomass is given.
