Brief Description
Description : | The Institute has developed Subabul + Trispecific hybrid - Fodder sorghum + Pigeonpea based fodder production system for rainfed conditions. In this system, the Pennisetum Trispecific Hybrid (TSH) is planted in paired rows at 0.75 m x 0.5 m spacing. Subabul is planted at 50 cm plant to plant spacing in between pairs of TSH. The 3 m space between such two alleys is utilized for fodder sorghum + pigeonpea cropping system in 2:1 ratio at 30 cm. |
