Fastart (Kern 201) is a premium berseem for Rabi green fodder — fresh, clean, kasni-free seed that comes already treated with Rhizobium culture. Sown once, it feeds through the whole winter.
Cutting schedule
- First cut: about 55–60 days from timely sowing (late or heat-affected sowing can push this to 70–90 days)
- Subsequent cuts: every 25–30 days
- Total: 5–6 cuts, November through May — late sowing costs you 1–2 cuts
- Green fodder: up to 200–250 quintal per acre at the upper end with good management
- Crude protein: around 17% and above — animals eat it readily
Sowing
- Window: mid-September through November, stretching into early December if needed. October (around 25°C) is best — the earlier and more timely the sowing, the more cuts you take
- Seed rate: 8 kg per acre for timely sowing on a well-prepared field; 8–10 kg for late, broadcast or low-moisture conditions
- Soil: well-drained loam to clay loam, neutral to slightly alkaline. Not suitable for usar or saline-sodic land
- Pack size: 1 kg
Rhizobium-treated seed
Kern 201 ships pre-treated with Rhizobium culture, so no separate seed treatment is needed at your end. This gives:
- Better and quicker germination — valuable in fields where berseem has not been grown before
- Faster root development and stronger early growth
- Biological nitrogen fixation in your own field, reducing urea dependence
- Residual soil fertility that carries over to the following crop
Please note: Rhizobium supports establishment and nitrogen fixation. It is not a disease treatment.
Winter performance
Kern 201 keeps growing through the cold months, which is what makes it dependable dairy fodder from November onward. Timely October sowing matters, as the crop is sensitive to heat at establishment.
Please remember the product code KERN-201 when ordering.
