This work on carbon sequestration potential in fodder crops would guide the researchers with regard to perennial fodder crops especially in India. Moreover, the cheapest source of farm yard manure could be included for increased fodder production as well as augmenting the carbon sequestration in fodder plants thereby decreasing the global warming. The cheap nature of farm yard manure would indirectly help the farmers by achieving increased carbon assimilation potential and carbon sequestration potential through fodder production.
