SUPER NAPIER (PAKCHONG1)
THE OUTSTANDING GRASS FROM THAILAND.

Pakchong 1 is the official name of this special grass but it is better known among local readers as the “Super Napier,”

We called it Super Napier because it is outstanding in a number of significant ways. Compared to the old napier variety, it is much higher yielding. In Thailand, one acre of Pakchong 1 can produce as much as 200 tons per of biomass in one year. The grass is cut every 45 to 60 days after the first harvest, which is 90 days from planting.
1acre can feed 15 Dairy cows per year with remarkable increase in MILK PRODUCTION.

The grass is cut to the level of the ground when it is harvested, and soon after, new growth will arise with more tillers than the previous ones as long as the plants are provided with enough moisture and organic, as well as chemical, fertilizer.

Besides its high yield, Super Napier is loaded with crude protein ranging from 17 to 18 percent. The leaves are smooth and hairless, so farm animals love to eat them. The juice is sweetish, so it is very palatable to the farm animals.

Super Napier Pakchong1 Now Available
We are one of the first farmers in Kenya to acquire planting materials from Thailand. The planting materials are in the form of cuttings with 2 nodes or rooted splits

Land Preparation
Deep plowing is recommended so that the roots will be able to pe*****te deep in the ground. This will make the plants more resistant to drought. The soil should be well pulverized with the use of a rotavator.

Planting
The furrows are made 90 cm apart. The cuttings are planted flat in the furrows, 60 cm apart, and covered with soil one to two inches thick. After planting, irrigate to enhance germination. Always irrigate when necessary.

Fertilizers
Super Napier responds well to nitrogen fertiliser both organic and chemical types including foliar sprays.
Harvesting
You can make your first harvest 90 days after planting. The succeeding harvests can be 45 to 60 days thereafter, depending on the purpose. Cut the grass down to the level of the ground. Irrigate to hasten regrowth. A lot of tillers will sprout if the soil is rich and moisture is maintained.

Feeding to Animals
For pigs, poultry, rabbits, plant eating fish eg tilapia etc., use 45-day old growth, chopped or shredded.
For larger ruminants like dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and goats, give 60-70 day-old growth, also chopped or shredded.
Cattle love to eat Super Napier because it is smooth, tender, and sweetish.

History
Pakchong 1 is a selectively-bred hybrid developed by Dr. Krailas Kyiothong and his team at
the Nakhonratchasima Animal Nutrition Research and Development Center in Thailand.
Dr. Kyiothong describes Pakchong 1 as a perennial, cane grass. He confirms that it is sterile, non-GMO, and a hybrid that is of value agriculturally in tropical and subtropical areas.
So many farmers have been looking forward to the availability of planting materials of this super grass. Now at last, its available @50/= per split/cutting of 2 nodes in Chorong'i near Nyeri Town.
