Cool Season Forages in India

• Berseem:

– Legume but Nitrogen fertilizer is used

– Lot of the seed is imported

• Variety Not Stated – no quality standards

• Public Indian variety – Maskawi – Quality

standards based on certified seed

– Sown in 2nd week of October

– Cut 5-6 times till last week of April.


• Oats:

– Cereal Forage

– Local Seed Production available

• Variety – Kent – Quality standards based on

certified seed

– Improved varieties available but Kent is still

most popular.


– Cut 2-3 times till last week of March


• Annual Ryegrass

– Cool Season Forage Grass

– Probably the most nutritious annual Forage

– Barenbrug has a very active breeding program with

numerous climatic zones.


– Private Trials in Pantnagar Region have shown

excellent growth potential relative to Oats and

Berseem

• Cut 6-8 times till last week of May.

– Significant improvement in butter fat ~ Makkhan

Grass

Annual Ryegrass • High biomass production in short-period

• Mid-Spring to Late spring production

• Good rotation crop with warm season

grasses

– Over-seeding permanent warm season fields in

winter

– Companion crop with cereal grains (cereal provide

early season growth and annual ryegrass will fill

the late season forage requirement)

• Prolific Seed Producer

Makkhan Grass – Talking Points

• Makkhan Grass is highly nutritional multicut, highly

succulent and the most palatable grass in the world.

• Makkhan Grass feeding will greatly improve milk production

and quality (specially milk solids)…

• Makkhan Grass is considered to be one of the highest

quality winter forages utilized in the world.

• Dry matter digestibility is generally greater than 65%, and

crude protein content exceeds the requirements for most

classes of livestock animal gains.

• Because highly palatable, livestock may over consume.

Makkhan Grass – Package of Practices

Plant Characters:

Makkhan Grass is high nutritional multi cut annual grass.

Makkhan Grass is highly succulent and more palatable grass.

Makkhan Grass feeding will improves milk production and great

improve in milk solids like Makkhan. Highly suitable for hill and low

temperature areas

Agronomy:-

SOIL:- All kinds of agriculture soils are suitable with normal PH –

6.5 to 7

SOWING TIME:- Makkhan Grass is a winter forage crop and

suitable to sow from October to December.

LAND PREPARATION: - Since Makkan grass seed is very light in

weight, sowing method is very important. Prepare fine tilt land with

very uniform level across the land and planking is important after

sowing.

SEEDING RATE: Solo sowing - 4 to 6 kg per Acre

Combination with Berseem – 2 to 3 Kg per Acre

SOWING METHODE:- Makkhan Grass will be sown plot wise in

rows at 30 cm. Soil should be prepared with 6 inches of loose soil

and 0.5 inch of fine topsoil. Seed can be applied with a broadcast

spreader, seeder, hydroseeder or by hand. Care must be taken not

to cover the seed with more than 1/4inch of topsoil Roll to ensure

good seed to soil contact

TEMPERATURE: Soil temperatures should be above 65 degrees F

(18 degrees C). Optimum soil temperature for germination and root

growth is 75 degrees to 80 degrees F (24 degrees to 27 degree C).


FERTILISER:- Apply 15 – 20 Mt FYM at the time of land

preparation. Fertilizer will be applied before sowing @60 kg.

Nitrogen and 40 kg. Phosphorus per hectare and 60 kg. Nitrogen

per hectare after every cutting.

GERMINATION & ESTABLISHMENT: Keep seedbed moist to

enhance germination. Under ideal conditions, germination will

begin within 10 to 14 days and should be complete within 18 days.

Full establishment should occur in 4 to 6 weeks. Establishment

time may vary if planting date occurred early or late in the planting

season


IRRIGATION:- First irrigation should be immediate after sowing

and second irrigation is about 5 to 6 days afeter sowing. Later on

at 10 days interval. Or as per need. After 1st irrigation manual

weeding and 20kg. Nitrogen will be applied.

CUTTING & HARVESTING:- First cutting will be depending upon

the growth 50 -60cm height Or 50 to 60 days after sowing. Further

cutting will be at 25 to 30 days interval depending on growth

WEEDICIDES:- Makkan Grass is very sensitive to weedicides, So

no weedicide should be sprayed.


Feeding - Types

• Green Feeding o Makkhan Grass is very soft and succulent grass

suitable for green chopped and direct feeding

• Hey Feeding o Makkhan Grass can make Hey and keep for 5 months

• Silage Feeding o Makkhan Grass can make Silage and feed along with

other silage or green fodder
