Experts' advice for fodder production

If two cuttings of oats are being taken, one cutting can be taken during this month to meet the fodder shortage. Do not take two cuttings of oats where heavy infestation of Poa grass is there.

If lucerne has been sown, it should also be managed in such a manner that fodder is available during the lean period.

Berseem stem rot : The crop suffers from rotting at the soil surface due to stem rot disease. The disease is serious under humid/wet season. After taking the cutting of crop, expose the soil to the sun. Collect the diseased debris and destroy.

Berseem/Shaftal for seed production can be sown during the first fortnight of this month.
