Application Rates
Whether grown for grain or green fodder, Sorghum responds explosively to 300 to 400 kg of Vermicompost per Bigha. This single application provides all the vital macro and micronutrients needed.
When to Apply
Apply at sowing (basal) and immediately after the first cut for ratoon crops.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Basal Application
Mix 300-400kg/bigha during final field preparation.
Sowing
Drill or broadcast seeds directly into the nutrient-rich soil.
Earthing Up
Lightly hill the soil around the base of the stalks at 30 days.
Ratoon Boost
For multi-cut fodder, apply 100kg more after the first harvest.
Juice Development
Water immediately to trigger thick, sweet stalk growth.
Protection from disease
Mitti Gold Vermicompost improves the soil biodiversity, which outcompetes pathogens like rust and smut. It strengthens the stalks and root systems of cereals, making them less susceptible to soil-borne diseases.
Thick Fodder and Dense Grain
Organically grown Jowar creates towering, incredibly thick stalks loaded with sweet juices. When fed to dairy cattle, the organic nature of the fodder significantly increases daily milk yield. The grain heads (panicles) are compact and extremely heavy.
Boosting Arbuscular Mycorrhizas
Sorghum heavily relies on beneficial fungi (mycorrhizas) to mine phosphorus from deep soil. Vermicompost acts as the perfect host food, allowing these fungi to establish a vast, super-efficient underground root network.
Dairy and Grain Demands
Organic jowar fodder always sells out instantly to local dairy farmers due to its high nutritional profile compared to chemically forced, watery stalks.
