Key Features

• Fine Cut Architecture:
  
  Features thinner, softer stems and wider leaves compared to coarse varieties, maximizing palatability so livestock eat the entire plant with zero wastage.

  Once established, it delivers multiple heavy cuts throughout the year and persists for up to 3 to 5 years, drastically lowering seasonal land setup and seed costs.

• High Protein Profile:
  
  Packed with easily digestible crude protein and essential structural fibers that naturally balance the rumen environment of dairy cattle and buffaloes.

• Aggressive Stoloniferous Growth:
  
  Spreads rapidly via strong horizontal runners (stolons) that anchor deeply into the soil, creating a thick carpet that smothers out aggressive weeds.

• Salt & Drought Tolerance:
  
  Highly resilient genetics that maintain high vegetative growth even in saline soils and areas facing seasonal irrigation shortages.

• Quick Drying for Hay:
  
  The fine-cut stem design allows moisture to escape rapidly during conditioning, making it the ideal choice for high-quality commercial hay baling.

Benefits

• Boosts Dairy Yields:
  
  Provides a consistent supply of premium, high-fiber forage that directly enhances daily milk output and improves milk fat composition.

• Substantial Long-Term Savings:
  
  Eliminates the need for plowing and re-sowing every few months, providing stable fodder security across multiple summer and winter blocks.

• Optimized Acre Budget:
  
  Formulated at exactly 8kg per acre. Using two 4kg bags fulfills the ideal plant population needed to secure a thick, gap-free pasture field.

• Excellent Soil Binder:
  
  Deep, aggressive fibrous root networks improve soil structure over time and prevent erosion on uneven or sloped farm fields.

• High Export Grade:
  
  Produces the uniform, bright green, fine-textured hay that meets international grading standards for dairy feed exports.

Sowing Time

• Punjab:
  
  The ideal sowing window is from February to April (Spring) and again from August to October (Autumn) when soil temperatures are perfect for fast germination.

• Sindh:
  
  Sowing gives best results from February to March and September to November, avoiding the extreme mid-summer dry heat waves.

• KPK:
  
  Planted in plains from March to April and August to September, while upper zones do well with a single April to May spring setup.

• Balochistan:
  
  Cultivated primarily in canal-irrigated tracks during March to May depending on regional water channel rotations.

Germination Details

• High Sprouting Baseline:
  
  Certified at a minimum 85% germination level to guarantee a uniform field emergence without creating sparse or empty patches.

• Vigorous Early Setup:
  
  Seeds break through the surface crust within 7 to 10 days under correct soil temperature and constant light moisture.

• Purity Sorting:
  
  Cleaned and mechanically processed to eliminate chaff, weed seeds, and unviable hulls, ensuring every gram contributes to crop establishment.

Sowing Instructions

• Land Preparation:
  
  Khet me 2 se 3 dafa hal chalayein, us k baad disc harrow aur suhaga (planking) pher kar mitti ko bilkul naram, bhurbhura aur mukammal hamwar (level) kar lein. Rhodes grass k chote beej k liye zameen ka level hona nihayat zaroori hai.

• Planting Rate:
  
  Fee aikar poori plant population aur ghana chara hasil karne k liye 2 bags (8kg seed weight) istemal karein.

• Sowing Layout & Method:
  
  Beej ko do tariqon se kasht kiya jata hai:

  1. Chatta (Broadcasting) Method:
     
     Naram aur hamwar mitti me beej ka chatta dein. Beej bohot halka hota hai, is liye behtreen tariqa yeh hai k beej ko thori khushk mitti ya rait me mila kar chatta dein taakay barabar phele. Baad me bilkul halka suhaga pherin ya sirf pani laga dein.

  2. Line Sowing Method:
     
     Small seed drill k zariye katar-se-katar ka fasla 6 se 9 inches rakhein.

• Optimal Depth Control:
  
  Beej ko hamesha 0.25 se 0.5 inch ki gehrayi par lagayein. Rhodes grass ka beej nihayat chota aur halka hota hai; agar yeh 0.5 inch se zyada gehra chala gaya to beej andar hi dab kar mar jayega.

Usage Guidelines

• First Cutting Timing:
  
  Take the very first harvest cut around 55 to 60 days after sowing to allow the root system and horizontal runners to anchor securely into the soil.

• Subsequent Cuts:
  
  Take following cuts every 25 to 30 days during peak summer growth phases when the plant reaches a height of 2 to 2.5 feet.

• Stump Maintenance:
  
  Always leave a 3 to 4-inch stubble height above the ground level while cutting. Lower cutting damages the crown and delays regrowth.

Application Guide

• Fertility Inputs:
  
  Apply 2 bags of DAP and 1 bag of Ammonium Sulfate during land preparation. To trigger massive regrowth, apply 1 bag of Urea after every subsequent fodder cut.

• Water Schedules:
  
  Requires frequent but light watering during early establishment (every 4 to 6 days). Once established, irrigate every 8 to 12 days depending on summer heat levels.

• Weed Control:
  
  Ensure the field remains clean during the initial 4 weeks. Once Rhodes grass spreads its runners, it will naturally suppress weed emergence.

Growth Method

• Soil Parameters:
  
  Shows wide adaptability, performing exceptionally well in sandy-loam, loamy, and clay-loam soils. Highly tolerant to high soil pH and salinity.

• Post-Cut Management:
  
  Apply irrigation immediately after taking a fodder cut along with a nitrogenous fertilizer dose to trigger rapid tillering and runner
  
  expansion.

• Hay Preparation:
  
  For premium hay making, cut the grass just before the flowering stage when protein contents and leaf juice are at their absolute peak.

Safety Precautions

• Storage Conditions:
  
  Store the bags in a well-ventilated, dry warehouse away from damp walls, floor moisture, and direct pesticide storage zones.

• Check Freshness:
  
  Verify the company packing seal and batch authentication details printed on the Kohenoor package before opening.

• Keep Safe Distance:
  
  Keep the seed packs out of reach of children and farm livestock animals.

• Handling Hygiene:
  
  Wear lightweight protective gloves while handling seeds and wash hands thoroughly with soap after completing field sowing.

• Avoid Standing Water:
  
  Ensure proper drainage channels are maintained, as prolonged waterlogging can damage the grass roots.

Use Areas

• Commercial Dairy Pastures:
  
  Ideal for cattle and buffalo dairy operations that require a continuous, high-yield source of fresh green forage.

• Commercial Hay Baling:
  
  Excellent choice for corporate farmers producing high-protein hay bales for local feed markets or export.

A: Fine cut variety ka tana nihayat naram, bareek aur rasila hota hai aur is ke patte chooray hote hain. Is naram banawat ki wajah se janwar ise poora khate hain aur tana zaya nahi karte, jab ke aam moti qismon ka tana sakht hota hai jise janwar chorr dete hain.

Kya yeh aik saal ki fasal hai ya yeh sada-bahar chara hai?

A: Yeh aik sada-bahar (kayi saal chalne wali) fasal hai. Agar aap is ki dekh-bhal, pani aur khad ka sahi khayal rakhein to yeh aik dafa lagane ke baad 3 se 5 saal tak musalsal har mahine chara deti rehti hai.

Rhodes grass ka beej bohot chota hota hai, is ko lagate waqt kis baat ka khas khayal rakhna chahiye?

A: Sab se zaroori baat yeh hai ke beej ko zameen me gehra nahi jana chahiye. Beej ko hamesha 0.25 se 0.5 inch ki gehrayi par rakhein. Chatta dete waqt beej k andar khushk mitti ya rait mila lein taakay beej khet me barabar phele aur aik hi jagah jama na ho.

Pehli katai kitne dino baad aati hai aur baqi katayiyan kitne waqfe par hoti hain?

A: Pehli katai boai ke takreeban 55 se 60 din baad aati hai taakay poday ki jarein zameen me achhi tarah pakar kar lein. Is ke baad garmioun ke mausam me har 25 se 30 din baad agli katai bilkul taiyar ho jati hai.

Charay ki katai karte waqt darust tariqa kya hona chahiye taakay dobara phoot achhi ho?

A: Katai karte waqt hamesha zameen se 3 se 4 inch oopar se poda kaatein. Agar aap bilkul zameen ke sath se kaatein ge to poday ka jor (crown) mutasir hoga aur agli cut taiyar hone me bohot zyada din lagenge.

Is sada-bahar charay se zyada se zyada pedawar lene ke liye khadon ka istemal kaise karein?

A: Zameen taiyari ke waqt 2 bori DAP lagayein. Rhodes grass ko nitrogen khad ki zyada zaroorat hoti hai, is liye har katai lene ke foran baad 1 bori Urea khad pani ke sath lazmi dein taakay agli cut tezi se barhay.
