High yielding nutritious fodder.

High Brix (16-18 %) with high protein (11-13%) and high metabolisable energy. Tall, thick, juicy stems with soft internodes. Good sustainability and palatability. Suitable for Silage.

Sugargraze can be grown well on a wide range of soil types, soil pH should be 5.5 to 7.0, avoid acidic and saline soils. Drained soils yields good.

Sowing Time:

• Spring – Feb to April
  
• Kharif – May to August
• Rabi (Central India and South India only) – September to November

Sowings: Although Sugargraze is comparatively easy to establish, prepare good seedbed for good germination and root development.

Water and Irrigation: Sugargraze 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.

Cutting and Harvesting: Sugargraze can cut at 45 to 50 days age to get 2 cuts or can cut at 70 to 90 days age to get optimum sugar levels in the juice. For green fodder Sugargraze can be cut at 40 to 50 days age and for Silage 75 to 90 days age is the suitable.
