Fodder sowing varieties in mid-September

Fodder Production: Sow maize (J 1007 and J 1006) for fodder production up to mid-September to have fodder for the scarcity period.

• Prepare the land for the sowing of berseem during the last week of September. Mix oats and Mustard/Raya in berseem to get the first cutting early. Berseem seed should be free from Kashni seed. Inoculate the berseem seed with Rhizobium culture. Apply 22 kg of urea and 185 
• kg of Superphosphate/acre at the time of sowing berseem. If 6 tonnes of FYM has been applied, then 125 kg of Superphosphate/acre will be sufficient. Where Ryegrass has been mixed in berseem, apply 22 kg of urea/acre after each cutting.
• Preserve the surplus green fodder of maize or Bajra as silage or hay to supplement the shortage of green fodder.
