Description
Key Points for Nutrifeed Forage
- High Biomass Yield(50 % more than SSG products), Suitable for Multi-cutting
- Drought tolerant once established
- No risk of prussic acid poisoning ans is suitable for early feeding
- High Protein and Nutrient Value(12-16% crude protein)
- High palatability
- IVMD 61.3%
- High metabolizable energy
- Nutrifeed is tolerant to most pests and diseases and requires almsot negligible investment for their control
- Nutrifeed give disease and pest free green forage for better health of animals
- High digestibility rendering less feed quantity per animal and less forage are for cultivation
- High nutritional fodder helps in better health of animal
Seed rate: 3 kg per care
==================================
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, Avoid acidicand saline soils. Drained soils yields good.
Water & Irrigation:
Nutrifeed is tolerant to drought but should irrigate before 7 days intervals in summer and 12 days interval in 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 good seedbed for good germination and root development. Where irrigation is available, 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:
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 meter 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 regeneration of fresh leaves and Stems.
