10 Breeding Improved Forage Grasses Silage/ Hay System Forage Quality High total dry matter production Infrequent cutting tolerance (Recovery of growing point) Low lodging Growth Rhythm (Winter growing versus Winter Dormant) Harvest Window (e.g. early growth but late heading) Drying time Productive Stand life Stress tolerance Effluent Water tolerance

11 Breeding Improved Forage Grasses Pasture / Grazing Grazing Tolerance ~ Yield under grazing Frequent cutting tolerance Cattle vs Sheep Late heading Palatability Animal preference

12 Breeding Improved Forage Grasses Factors affecting selection for both Cutting and Grazing Systems Persistency Stress tolerance to heat, drought, Freeze Disease (Rust, Xanthomonas) Effluent Water / Salt tolerance Forage Quality

14 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 2 nd week of October Cut 5-6 times till last week of April.

15 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 2 nd week of October Cut 2-3 times till last week of March

16 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 2 nd 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

17 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

49 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.

50 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.

51 Makkhan Grass Package of Practices 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).

52 Makkhan Grass Package of Practices 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 FERTILISER:- Apply Mt FYM at the time of land preparation. Fertilizer will be applied before kg. Nitrogen and 40 kg. Phosphorus per hectare and 60 kg. Nitrogen per hectare after every cutting.

53 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.

54 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
