Abstract

Considering the need to produce fodder to feed livestock and poultry in the country, it is necessary to investigate the profitability of fodder leguminous cultivars in order to achieve the most economical cultivar and fodder plant in the regions. In this regard, the objectives of this present study were to determine return of some forage legume cultivars which were conducted as a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farms of Mazandaran and Lorestan provinces in 2018 and 2019. In this research forage legumes including four cultivars of faba bean, three cultivars of vetch, two cultivars of fodder green pea, and grass pea cultivar. In order to estimate profitability indexes was used partial budgeting technique, gross income, net income, benefit-cost ratio and the percentage of sales return in crop production. Results showed that, in Mazandaran province, the means of net income of the fresh forage production of faba bean (Shadan cultivar), benefit cost ratio and sale return was estimated 295.5 Iranian million rials/ha, 18.7 unit and 94.7 percent, respectively and in Lorestan province, the means of net income of the fresh forage production of fodder green pea, benefit cost ratio and sale return was estimated 277.95 Iranian million rials/ha, 10.2 unit and 90 percent, respectively. Therefore, in Mazandaran and Lorestan provinces, Shadan bean cultivar and fodder green pea of local cultivar were recommended as economic products.
