From our crop reference
Dhaincha is a fodder crop, grown in the kharif season. Sow it in Jun–Jul and expect to harvest in 45–60 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–8.5 (on the alkaline side) and 20–35°C. Plant at 30 × 15 cm, allowing 25–30 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 20–25 t. Watch for stem borer, leaf spot.
