WATER MANAGEMENT
Irrigation
Three to four irrigations are sufficient. In case of multiple cuttings, field must be irrigated after each cutting.
|
Cuttings
For single cut plots, optimum time of harvesting is the fifty per cent bloom stage. For multiple cuttings, the first cutting is taken about three months after seeding and subsequent cutting at an interval of 40 days.
|
Seed production
On average, about 15 qunitals seed is obtained per hectare, if no cut for fodder is taken.
