The Lifeline of Nutrition & Farming
SR-24 is a premium white-seeded multi-cut hybrid bajra (pearl millet) variety, developed for high green and dry fodder yield, superior digestibility, and excellent adaptability. With a maturity period of 105–110 days, SR-24 produces tall, tan plants with light green foliage, a green midrib, and thick, juicy stems, ensuring nutrient-rich fodder for livestock. This variety is well-suited for cultivation in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, and Delhi, making it a top choice for dairy farmers and livestock feed producers.
Challenges & Solutions
Fodder farming often faces challenges such as low digestibility, weak plant structure, and inadequate regrowth after cutting. SR-24 is bred to overcome these issues and ensure continuous, high-quality fodder production.
Challenges
Common difficulties in bajra fodder cultivation include:
Low Green & Dry Fodder Yield
Weak Stems & Poor Nutrient Retention
Slow Growth & Late Maturity
Limited Adaptability to Various Climates Affecting crop performance
Solutions
SR-24 provides exceptional benefits for fodder producers:
High Green Fodder Yield (9140 kg/HA) & Dry Fodder Yield (2320 kg/HA)
Thick, Juicy Stems with Semi-Drooping Growth
Fast Growth with Maturity in 105–110 Days
Adaptability to Key Agricultural Regions

Cultivation Guidelines
Planting Instructions:
Land Preparation:
Prepare a well-drained, nutrient-rich soil for optimal root development and fast regrowth.Sowing Depth:
Sow seeds at 2–3 cm depth for quick germination.Spacing:
Maintain a row spacing of 30–45 cm to support better tillering and regrowth after cutting.Maintenance Tips:
Irrigation:
Requires moderate but consistent watering, especially after each cutting for regrowth.Fertilization:
Apply a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote rapid growth and high-quality fodder.Pest & Disease Control:
Regular monitoring and preventive care help maintain crop health and maximize productivity.Harvesting Tips:
Best Time:
First cut at 105–110 days, followed by successive regrowth cuts.Method:
Use manual or mechanical harvesting to maintain plant health and ensure continuous fodder production.Storage:
Proper drying and moisture-free storage improve fodder shelf life and feeding efficiency.
