Perennial Multi-Cut Chicory for Protein-Rich & Nutritious Green Fodder
Produced & Marketed by NEW STAR HYBRID SEEDS
NSHS – CHICGOLD is a perennial, multi-cut fodder chicory developed for farmers looking for a long-duration supply of nutritious and highly palatable green forage. Its strong regeneration capacity, deep-rooted growth habit and repeated cutting potential make it a valuable addition to dairy-fodder programs.
With protein-rich forage, good digestibility and rapid recovery after harvesting, NSHS – CHICGOLD can be cultivated as a sole fodder crop or incorporated into suitable mixed-fodder cropping systems.
🌟 Key Features of NSHS – CHICGOLD
- Perennial & Long-Duration Fodder A perennial forage crop capable of remaining productive for an extended period and providing repeated harvests from a single establishment.
- 20–25 Fodder Cuts Under suitable growing conditions, irrigation and recommended crop management, NSHS – CHICGOLD has the potential to provide approximately 20–25 green fodder cuts.
- High Protein Content – 25–35% The green forage contains approximately 25–35% protein, providing a protein-rich fodder option for livestock feeding.
- Short Cutting Cycle – 24–28 Days After crop establishment, successive harvests can generally be taken at intervals of approximately 24–28 days, depending on season, crop growth and field-management conditions.
- Highly Nutritious Green Forage Provides quality green fodder that can be incorporated into balanced feeding programs for dairy animals.
- Good Digestibility Quality fibre characteristics, including good NDF and relatively low ADF, contribute to the digestibility of the forage.
- Excellent Palatability Produces fresh, tender and appetizing green fodder that is readily accepted by livestock.
- Rapid Regeneration Strong recovery following each cutting helps the crop quickly develop fresh vegetative growth for subsequent harvests.
- Good Green Biomass Production Under appropriate irrigation, nutrition and agronomic management, the crop can produce substantial quantities of green forage.
- Powerful Deep Root System NSHS – CHICGOLD develops a strong taproot capable of exploring deeper layers of soil for available moisture and nutrients.
- Good Drought Tolerance Its deep-rooting nature helps an established crop maintain growth during periods of comparatively limited soil moisture.
