Experts' advice for fodder crop in March

Sow early summer and multicut fodder crops such as maize, bajra and sorghum during this month to meet the fodder scarcity during summer lean period. This is also an ideal time to sow Guinea Grass and Napier Bajra. Conserve surplus barseem as hay and oats as silage for cheap milk production during lean period. Remove Kashni weed plants from barseem seed crop. Be watchful about the attack of gram caterpillar on barseem seed crop. The pest should be properly controlled on crops like wheat, sathi moong, sathi mash & sunflower growing in the vicinity of barseem in order to check its migration to barseem fields.
