Description
Daily Double is an Indian millet hybrid, a heat-loving, drought-tolerant plant. It is a very tasty, easily digestible fodder, mainly used below 1 m in height. It has no lactic acid content and can therefore be grazed at low altitudes, when its protein content is much higher than that of Sudan grass. Daily Double has a sowing rate of 20-30 kg, and when sown in this way the stems are very fine, making it ideal for grazing and haymaking.

Indian millet is sown at a depth of 2-3 cm from May to mid-August. It is not particularly demanding on the soil, but may be sensitive to soils with a pH of more than 6. The soil should be over-warmed; if sown as a second crop, sowing should be preceded by a quick and shallow ploughing or disking. Sowing should be carried out with a seed drill. Careful rolling after sowing is very important.

After sowing, when it reaches a height of 15 to 20 cm, it is advisable to apply 60 to 70 kg of active nitrogen and 30 kg of active nitrogen after each application cycle. Because of its rapid growth, it can be mown 3-6 times if autumn frosts occur late. The plant grows quickly; it can be mown 6 weeks after sowing and grazed at a height of 30 cm, which also stimulates bush growth and gives a very good yield of tender growth. Above 60 cm it is better to mow. Flowering can be expected 75 to 80 days after sowing, at which time it will be about 2 m tall.

As it grows, its quality deteriorates, becoming fibrous and not as high in sugar as sorghum, but this deterioration is much less pronounced in BMR hybrids. If mown to a height of at least 15 cm, it will resprout reliably. Indian millet is sensitive to frost; if the first autumn frosts are indicated, it is worth considering a rapid recovery of the crop.
