SOIL REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION


The fodder grows well in well irrigated loams and gives low yields in areas with high rainfall. The soil can be prepared by ploughing 4 times followed by planking each time.

TIME OF SOWING

March - September

Good crop stand is possible when sown in early March and July or else the yield will be reduced.

FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS

At sowing: 1 bag of DAP + 1/2 bag of potash

When crop is 1.5 - 2ft tall: 1/2 to 1 bag of urea

Leaf litre can be added 1 month before seedbed preparation and mixed well by ploughing.

SEED RATE

40 - 50 kg/acre healthy seed is used for fodder purposes.

10 - 12 kg/acre healthy seed is used for seed purposes.

To get thinner plant seed rate can be increased. It has been noticed that fodder with thin stem is more popular in the market.

METHOD OF SOWING

Usually seed is broadcasted. But to get better crop yield the seed can be sown with row to row distance of 1 foot by a seed drill.

For seed purposes, row to row distance should be 2 to 2.5 ft. The seed should be sown in wattar condition to get better crop yield.

IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS

First irrigation should be done after 3 weeks of sowing. Later, irrigate the field according to the crop requirements. It should be kept in mind that no water remains in field or else plants will die.

    Plants should be dried off in a way that excessive amount of water remain there in field. Because plants can die in this way
