How do you plant Super Napier grass in the farms?

 Soil should be well pulverized with the use of a rotavator

Apply 2 tonnes of well composted cattle manure in the soil

Make furrows at a width of 3 feet

Plant the stem cuttings in the furrows, 1 feets apart and covered with soil one to two inches thick.

We can plant 10,000 to 12,000 stems per acre.

After completing the planting, irrigate the farm to enhance germination.
