Rashika Fodder Jowar is a high-yielding, multi-cut hybrid variety developed for nutritious, juicy, and digestible green fodder. It is ideal for dairy and livestock farmers aiming to boost milk yield and animal health.
The plants grow to a height of 220–240 cm, producing broad, lush green leaves and thick, juicy stems rich in protein and digestible fiber. Rashika is known for its soft texture and excellent palatability, making it a preferred choice for cattle and buffalo feed.
This variety exhibits strong tolerance to drought and heat stress, and is resistant to major diseases like Anthracnose and Leaf Blight, ensuring consistent fodder quality and extended harvesting windows.
Best suited for the Kharif and Summer seasons, Rashika performs best in well-drained, fertile loamy soils, and supports 2–3 harvests per season, with the first cut ready in 45–50 days after sowing.
