The Lifeline of Nutrition & Farming
JAY-88 is a top-performing F1-hybrid bajra (pearl millet) variety, developed for fast maturity, high grain yield, and superior dry fodder production. With a maturity period of 80–85 days and a plant height of 6–7 feet, this variety ensures quick harvest cycles and excellent adaptability to both rainfed and upland irrigated conditions. The large cob size (38–42 cm) and high grain yield (14–16 qtl. per acre) make JAY-88 a preferred choice for farmers looking for high returns from bajra cultivation. Additionally, its dry manure yield of 32–34 qtl. per acre ensures ample fodder availability for livestock farming.
Challenges & Solutions
Bajra cultivation faces challenges such as low grain output, weak plant structure, and inadequate fodder yield. JAY-88 is designed to overcome these issues while maximizing farm profitability.
Challenges
Common difficulties in traditional bajra cultivation include:
Low Cob Size & Grain Density
Delayed Maturity
Limited Fodder Output
Restricted Adaptability to Varying Climates
Solutions
JAY-88 provides exceptional benefits for commercial bajra growers:
Large Cob Size with High Grain Yield
Short Maturity (80–85 Days)
High Dry Manure Yield
Adaptability to Rainfed & Upland
Performance and Profitability
Yield Potential (Qtl./Acre): JAY-88 delivers 14–16 qtl. of grain yield and 32–34 qtl. of fodder yield per acre, ensuring excellent farm profitability.
Adoption Rate: Farmers prefer JAY-88 for its early maturity, large cobs, and strong plant structure.
Farm Profitability: With low seed input (2–2.5 kg per acre) and high market demand, JAY-88 provides exceptional returns on investment.
Market Demand: The bold grains and superior fodder quality make JAY-88 a top choice for traders, food processors, and livestock feed industries.
