- Firstly plow the land deep enough for the plant roots to penetrate deep into the ground making it drought resistant.
- For the Super Napier grass, fertilization should be done when the new leaves emerge.
- That is after 20 days of planting the stems, we can give fertilizer to our plants.
- The best method for obtaining maximum yields from the Super Napier is to broadcast the fertilizer all over the surface of the soil but closer to the stems.
- Broadcasting is the easy means to apply the fertilizer. Also it helps in uniform fertilizer distribution to all the plants.
- Cattle Manure is the best fertilizer for the Super Napier Grass or any other organic manure rich in NPK can be used as well.
- Nitrogen in the manure causes leaf growth and the formation of stems and branches.
- Phosphorus promotes the development of healthy roots.
- Potash helps the plant to maintain good growth and protects against the pest, disease damage.
- We recommend 2 tons of organic fertilizer per acre or apply four bags of 14-14-14 fertilizer.
- After completing the fertilization, irrigate the Super Napier plants thoroughly.
- Continue to feed every 2 to 4 months during the growing season so that maximum yield can be achieved from the Super Napier.
