Key Points for Jumbo Gold :

• Multicut (4 to 5 Cuts with 50 Days interval), High biomass and better standibility
• Good rejuvenation with strong stem
• Suitable for dry and irrigated conditions.
• Tolerant to water stress as well as water logging conditions
• Tolerant to major pests (Stem borer and shoot fly) under natural field conditions
• High Digestibility with high protein and high metabolic energy.
• Resistant to Lodging.

Agronomy & Management:

• Soil:Fodder crops can be grown well on a wide range of soil types Soil pH should be 5.5 to 7.0, well drained soils are most suitable. Avoid acidic and saline soils.
• Water & Irrigation:Jumbo Gold 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.
• Sowings:Although Jumbo Gold is easy to establish, prepare good seedbed for good germination and root development.

Cutting & Harvesting:
Jumbo Gold can cut at feed at any time but 1 meter to 1.5 meter is idle height to get more benefits from green fodder Jumbo Gold should cut above 6 to 8 inches height from the ground level while harvesting/ cutting which is necessary to get immediate re-growth for multi-cut.
