Agronomy & Management
Soil:Fodder crops can be grown well on a wide range of soil types Soil pH should be 5.5 to 7.0, and Avoid acidic and saline soils. Drained soils yield well.
Water & Irrigation: Nutrifeed is tolerant to drought but should irrigate before 7 days intervals in summer and 12 days intervals in the rainy season. For better palatability crop should be with high moisture. Sufficient irrigation will boost the healthy and expected bio-mass yield in forage crops.
Sowings: Although Nutrifeed is comparatively easy to establish, prepare a good seedbed for good germination and root development. Where irrigation is available, the better establishment will be obtained by pre-watering and sowing into moisture, rather than watering after sowing. Sowing depth 3cm to 5 cm with soil covering for compaction Row to Row Spacing is 30 cm and Plant to Plant is 25 cm
Sowing Type:
Ridges & Furrows: For staggered sowing, harvesting, irrigation and fertigation ridges and furrows method is very successful to get high yield and high-quality fodder.
Blocks Method: The blocks method is another successful method in forage cultivation. Farmer can harvest the fodder as per in requirement and irrigate the same block.
Sowing Time:
Spring - Feb to April
Kharif - May to August
Rabi (Central India and South India only) - September to October
Seed Rate:2 to 3 Kg per Acre
Spacing: Nutrifeed spacing is row to row 30 cm X plant to plant 25 cm
Cutting & Harvesting: Nutrifeed can cut and feed at any time but 1 meter to 1.2 meters is idle height to get more benefits from green fodder in terms of nutritive values. Nutrifeed should be cut 6 to 8 inches above ground level when harvesting to promote faster re-growth for multi-cut.
Post Cutting Activities: Apply adequate nitrogen and water for the regeneration of fresh leaves and Stems.
Fertilizer: Fertilizer should use according to the soil test results.
N-30 Kg (60 Kg Urea),
P-25 Kg (45 Kg DAP or 120 kg SSP),
K-10 Kg (20 Kg Potash) per Acre is recommended for Nutrifeed.
Adequate nitrogen will ensure the crop's fast growth and quick recovery after cutting. Apply Nitrogen as a top dressing to get optimum benefit.
Weed Control Weeds in Nutrifeed can be easily controlled by spraying 1 Kg Atrazine 50% WP per 1 acre.
Insect & Disease Management From past experience, No pests and diseases have been observed. Please follow the guidelines of the company executive for control measures.
