Cool Season Forages in India
• Berseem:
– Legume but Nitrogen fertilizer is used
– Lot of the seed is imported
• Variety Not Stated – no quality standards
• Public Indian variety – Maskawi – Quality
standards based on certified seed
– Sown in 2nd week of October
– Cut 5-6 times till last week of April.
Cool Season Forages in India
• Oats:
– Cereal Forage
– Local Seed Production available
• Variety – Kent – Quality standards based on
certified seed
– Improved varieties available but Kent is still
most popular.
– Sown in 2nd week of October
– Cut 2-3 times till last week of March
Cool Season Forages in India
• Annual Ryegrass
– Cool Season Forage Grass
– Probably the most nutritious annual Forage
– Barenbrug has a very active breeding program with
numerous climatic zones.
– Sown in 2nd week of October
– Private Trials in Pantnagar Region have shown
excellent growth potential relative to Oats and
Berseem
• Cut 6-8 times till last week of May.
– Significant improvement in butter fat ~ Makkhan
Grass
Annual Ryegrass • High biomass production in short-period
• Mid-Spring to Late spring production
• Good rotation crop with warm season
grasses
– Over-seeding permanent warm season fields in
winter
– Companion crop with cereal grains (cereal provide
early season growth and annual ryegrass will fill
the late season forage requirement)
• Prolific Seed Producer

Makkhan Grass – Talking Points
• Makkhan Grass is highly nutritional multicut, highly
succulent and the most palatable grass in the world.
• Makkhan Grass feeding will greatly improve milk production
and quality (specially milk solids)…
• Makkhan Grass is considered to be one of the highest
quality winter forages utilized in the world.
• Dry matter digestibility is generally greater than 65%, and
crude protein content exceeds the requirements for most
classes of livestock animal gains.
• Because highly palatable, livestock may over consume.
Makkhan Grass – Package of Practices
Plant Characters:
Makkhan Grass is high nutritional multi cut annual grass.
Makkhan Grass is highly succulent and more palatable grass.
Makkhan Grass feeding will improves milk production and great
improve in milk solids like Makkhan. Highly suitable for hill and low
temperature areas
Agronomy:-
SOIL:- All kinds of agriculture soils are suitable with normal PH –
6.5 to 7
SOWING TIME:- Makkhan Grass is a winter forage crop and
suitable to sow from October to December.
LAND PREPARATION: - Since Makkan grass seed is very light in
weight, sowing method is very important. Prepare fine tilt land with
very uniform level across the land and planking is important after
sowing.
SEEDING RATE: Solo sowing - 4 to 6 kg per Acre
Combination with Berseem – 2 to 3 Kg per Acre
SOWING METHODE:- Makkhan Grass will be sown plot wise in
rows at 30 cm. Soil should be prepared with 6 inches of loose soil
and 0.5 inch of fine topsoil. Seed can be applied with a broadcast
spreader, seeder, hydroseeder or by hand. Care must be taken not
to cover the seed with more than 1/4inch of topsoil Roll to ensure
good seed to soil contact
TEMPERATURE: Soil temperatures should be above 65 degrees F
(18 degrees C). Optimum soil temperature for germination and root
growth is 75 degrees to 80 degrees F (24 degrees to 27 degree C).
Makkhan Grass – Package of Practices
FERTILISER:- Apply 15 – 20 Mt FYM at the time of land
preparation. Fertilizer will be applied before sowing @60 kg.
Nitrogen and 40 kg. Phosphorus per hectare and 60 kg. Nitrogen
per hectare after every cutting.
GERMINATION & ESTABLISHMENT: Keep seedbed moist to
enhance germination. Under ideal conditions, germination will
begin within 10 to 14 days and should be complete within 18 days.
Full establishment should occur in 4 to 6 weeks. Establishment
time may vary if planting date occurred early or late in the planting
season
Makkhan Grass – Package of Practices
IRRIGATION:- First irrigation should be immediate after sowing
and second irrigation is about 5 to 6 days afeter sowing. Later on
at 10 days interval. Or as per need. After 1st irrigation manual
weeding and 20kg. Nitrogen will be applied.
CUTTING & HARVESTING:- First cutting will be depending upon
the growth 50 -60cm height Or 50 to 60 days after sowing. Further
cutting will be at 25 to 30 days interval depending on growth
WEEDICIDES:- Makkan Grass is very sensitive to weedicides, So
no weedicide should be sprayed.
Makkhan Grass – Package of Practices
Feeding - Types
• Green Feeding o Makkhan Grass is very soft and succulent grass
suitable for green chopped and direct feeding
• Hey Feeding o Makkhan Grass can make Hey and keep for 5 months
• Silage Feeding o Makkhan Grass can make Silage and feed along with
other silage or green fodder
