Multicut, high biomass and better standibility.

Good rejuvenation with strong stem

Suitable for dry and irrigated conditions. Tolerant to water stress as well as water logging conditions

Tolerant to major pests(Stem borer and shoot fly) under natural field conditions. Resistant to Lodging.

High Digestibility with high protein and high metabolic energy.

Agronomy and Management: 

Seed Rate: 10 kg per acre

Water and Irrigation: Jumbo Gold 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.

Sowing Method: Although Jumbo Gold is easy to establish, prepare good seedbed for good germination and root development.

• Ridges and 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 November

Spacing: Row to row 25 cm, Plant to plant 10 cm

Post Cutting Activities: Apply adequate nitrogen and water for regeneration of fresh leaves and Stems.

Cutting and Harvesting: Jumbo Gold can cut at feed at any time but 1 meter to 1.5 meter is idle height to get more benefits from green fodder Jumbo Gold should cut above 6 to 8 inches height from the ground level while harvesting/ cutting which is necessary to get immediate re-growth for multi-cut.
