The Lifeline of Nutrition & Farming
GANGA-885 is a high-performance F1-hybrid bajra (pearl millet) variety, developed for rapid growth, multiple cuttings, and excellent adaptability to different soil types. With a maturity period of just 40 days and a plant height of 6–8 feet, this variety is ideal for rainfed and upland irrigated conditions. Its strong foliar disease resistance and high tolerance to alkaline soils (high pH) ensure healthy growth and consistent fodder production. With 4–5 cuttings per season, GANGA-885 is a top choice for dairy farmers and livestock owners looking for a reliable and nutritious fodder crop.
Challenges & Solutions
Fodder production often faces challenges such as slow regrowth after cutting, low disease resistance, and poor adaptability to alkaline soils. GANGA-885 is bred to address these issues and ensure sustainable and high-yield fodder farming.
Challenges
Common difficulties in bajra fodder farming include:
Low Disease Resistance in Conventional Varieties
Limited Cuttings Due to Weak Regrowth
Poor Performance in High pH or Alkaline Soils
Slow Growth Leading to Delayed Harvesting
Solutions
GANGA-885 provides exceptional benefits for fodder producers:
Great Foliar Disease Resistance & Strong Durability
4–5 Cuttings for Continuous Fodder Supply
High pH and Alkaline Soil Tolerance & Adaptability
Fast Growth (40 Days Maturity)
