Unlock Higher Milk Yields with Premium Green Fodder

Gutigreen (GL-989) is a premium hybrid variety of Chicory (commonly known as Kasni), specifically developed for Indian dairy farmers. Known for its high nutritional value and lush vegetative growth, GL-989 is an excellent green fodder supplement that boosts the overall health and productivity of livestock.

This 100g pack is ideal for mixing with other fodder crops (like Berseem) to enhance forage quality or for standalone sowing in smaller patches.

Key Features & Highlights

• Hybrid Vigor: Genetically enhanced for faster growth, broader leaves, and superior biomass compared to local varieties.

• High Protein Content: Rich in proteins and minerals, making it highly digestible for cattle and buffaloes.

• Multi-Cut Variety: Offers excellent regrowth capacity, allowing for multiple cuttings throughout the season (3-4 cuts if managed well).

• Soft & Palatable: The leaves are tender and succulent, ensuring zero wastage as animals consume the fodder eagerly.

• Digestive Tonic: Chicory acts as a natural digestive aid for livestock, helping to prevent bloating and keeping the animal’s gut healthy.

Benefits for Livestock

• Increases Milk Fat & SNF: Regular feeding of GL-989 helps improve the consistency and fat percentage of milk.

• Boosts Milk Yield: The high nutritional intake directly correlates to improved lactation in dairy animals.

• Improves Animal Health: Contains essential minerals that help maintain the general health and coat shine of the animal.

Agronomy & Sowing Guidelines

• Sowing Season: Best sown in the Rabi season (Winter), typically from October to December.

• Seed Rate:

  • As a Mix: Mix this 100g pack with 1 kg of Berseem seeds to significantly improve the nutritional profile of your Berseem fodder.

  • Pure Stand: Use approx. 1 kg per acre (requires mixing with sand/soil for even broadcasting).

• Soil Requirement: Grows well in loamy to sandy-loam soils with good drainage.

• Irrigation: Requires regular irrigation intervals (every 10-12 days) for optimum leaf succulence.

Why Choose Gutigreen GL-989?

Farmers choose the GL-989 variety for its reliability and leaf density. Unlike wild chicory, this hybrid variety is bred to stay vegetative for longer, delaying flowering so you get more green fodder for a longer period.

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain germination viability.

Note: For best results, mix with Berseem (Egyptian Clover) to provide a balanced diet of energy and protein to your cattle.
