Hybrid Chicory (hybrid Kasni fodder)
In Stock
Hybrid chicory seeds refer to improved or selectively bred varieties of Cichorium intybus developed specifically for fodder (forage), leaf yield, and digestibility—not for medicinal or root harvest. These hybrids are ideal for high-protein livestock feed, offering faster growth, better disease resistance, and often higher dry matter yield than traditional Kasni (desi chicory) varieties.
Primary Use: Livestock fodder (cut-and-carry or grazing). Growth Habit: Rosette-forming, leafy with broad taproot. Protein Content: 18–22% crude protein. Tolerances: Drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant (mild), and pest-resistant.
