Application / Usage Guidelines

Prepare a clean pulverized seedbed by plowing 2 to 3 times for easy root growth Broadcast uniformly or use a drill method for a high-density fodder layout Maintain close plant spacing to encourage thin tender stalks over thick woody ones Apply a strong baseline dose of Phosphorus during final land preparation Irrigate immediately after sowing and maintain uniform moisture for fast growth Apply Nitrogen fertilizer after the first irrigation to accelerate biomass

Recommended Crops / Use Areas

Maize Fodder (Chara Makai / Fodder Corn) Exclusively optimized for high-yield green fodder and livestock feeding Suitable for dairy farms, commercial fodder growers, and livestock markets

How to Germinate

Ensure the soil has proper moisture before sowing the seed Sow or broadcast the seeds at a uniform depth of 3 to 4 cm Avoid burying the seeds too deep to ensure quick and even emergence Maintain a warm soil profile as maize requires heat for uniform sprouting Seedlings will typically emerge within 4 to 6 days under warm conditions Keep the soil surface moist but avoid heavy water pooling during sprouting
