ATORY CULTIVATION

GHING

e field two to three times to obtain good tilth.

CATION OF FYM

d spread 10 t/ha of FYM or compost

NG BEDS

s of size 10 m2 or 20 m2

CATION OF FERTILIZER

pply NPK fertilizers as per soil test recommendation as for as possible. If the soil testing is not done, follow the blanket recommendation
PK/ha.

pply full dose of NPK basally.

NG

eed are to be treated with 3 pockets rhizobium culture (600 g/ha).

or line sowing (30 x 15 cm) the seed rate is 6 kg/ha and for broadcasting 10 kg/ha.
tylo seeds possess hard seed coat. So acid scarification is to be done by dipping the seeds in concentrated sulphuric acid for three minutes
horoughly with tap water and  scarified seeds are again to be presoaked in cold water overnight. (or) Seeds can also be scarified in hot wate
he seeds for 4 minutes in hot water of 80º C and the seeds are again to be presoaked in cold water overnight.

R MANAGEMENT

fed crop. But during the period of establishment, care should be taken to provide sufficient moisture.

MANAGEMENT

eding may be given as and when necessary.

ESTING
est can be taken 75 days after sowing at flowering stage and subsequent harvests depending upon the growth.

N FODDER YIELD

noted that during the first year, the establishment after sowing is very slow and the yield is low. Later on when the crop establishes well due
t yields about 30 to 35 t/ha/year from the third year onwards.

SEED  PRODUCTION

EQUIREMENT

uld be free of volunteer plants. The previous crop should not be the same variety or other varieties of the same crop. It can be the same vari
s per the procedures of certification agency.

ON

ed / quality seed production leave a distance of 25 m all around the field from the same and other varieties of the crop.

SEASON               

ctober to January

WING SEED TREATMENT

carify the seeds with conc. H2SO4 acid @ 200 ml / kg-1 for 4 min for removal of seed coat dormancy.
ortify the seed with KNO3 0.25% for 3 h after dormancy breaking to improve germination.

TRACTION

e seeds using paddy dehusker by maintaining 0.2 mm clearance between the rotating discs.

G                               

rade the seeds using BSS 16 x 16 wire mesh sieve.

tore the seeds in gunny or cloth bags for short term storage (8-9 months) with seed moisture content of 8 - 10%.
tore the seeds in polylined gunny bag for medium term storage (12- 15 months) with seed moisture content of 8 – 9 %.
tore the seeds in 700 gauge polythene bag for long term storage (more than15 months) with seed moisture content of less than 8%.
