First of all, we would like to praise Allah for His Mercy and Guidance that has given us an opportunity to complete another industrial training, the last one. Next, we would like to thank Mr. Jamaluddin Bin Hj. Bula, as the Programme Coordinator of Diploma in Planting Industry Management. Then, we also want to thank Mr. Iberahim Bin Osman for his generosity and kindness during our practical which was under his management and also for giving us many new experiences and knowledge.

Our appreciation also goes to our parents and family that have given support to each one of us for everything including money and encouragement. Their understanding and helpfulness about our difficulty in learning process cannot be matched by another person in the world. To those who helps directly or indirectly throughout our industrial training for the last semester.

Lastly, we want to congratulate to all members; ourselves for succeeding in completing this compulsory course. We hope that we can improve ourselves from every factor and mostly gain knowledge as much as we can during this practical and practice in the future in the real life.

1.2 Location of Industrial Training

Pintar Kesuma Sdn. Bhd. is the company that manage the plantation of Napier grass and Jackfruit trees for the purpose of livestocks feed. Besides planting, the company also use the power of hard labour to find Mengkirai and Mahang leaves in the forest for the same purpose.

Napier grass Pennisetum purpureum poacea

Introduction Napier grass is a fodder grass that produces a lot of high-protein forage. It is also known as elephant grass, Sudan grass or king grass. Its scientific name is Penniseturn purpureum Napier grass is best suited to high rainfall areas, but it is drought-tolerant and can also grow well in drier areas. It does not grow well in waterlogged areas. It can be grown along with fodder trees along field boundaries or along contour lines or terrace risers to help control erosion. It can be intercropped with crops such as legumes and fodder trees, or as a pure stand. The advantage of napier grass is that it propagates easily. It has a soft stem that is easy to cut. It has deep roots, so is fairly drought-resistant. The tender, young leaves and stems are very palatable for livestock and grows very fast The disadvantage is that it is an aggressive plant that spreads through rhizome under the ground. If it is not controlled, it can invade crop fields and become a weed. The older stems and leaves are less palatable for Goats.

2.3 Practical Activity

2.3.1 Planting Napier grass Land preparation

The grass grows throughout the year in the tropics. The optimum temperature is about 31 C. Light showers alternated with bright sunshine are very congenial to the crop. Total water requirement of the grass is 800-1000 mm. Napier can grow on a variety of soils. Light loams and sandy soil are preferred to heavy soils. The soil has as to be wet at the root zone but should not be stagnated. The grass does not thrive well on water logged and flood prone lands. Phenomenal yield are obtained from very deep fertile soil rich in organic matter and nutrient elements. It tolerates a pH range from 5 to 8. Clearing of the bushes, removal of thorns, weeds etc. are must be done at the beginning. Napier requires a deep, thorough, weed free and compact seed bed. One disc ploughing may be followed by two or three fork ploughing, leveling and removal of clods. Basal application of farmyard manure is done before the preparation of ridges. Ridges are made across the slope far as possible at a spacing of 60 cm with a height of about 25 cm which enables irrigation uniform and easy.

Chicken dung

After making the line, put the chicken drum in the distance between the two bounds for the distance we put a strip of Napier grass. Chicken heads we use are chicken Dung mix with sawdust right to suitable Napier grass. Chicken heads down

Planting

After Chicken dung putting in the line, put the stem cutting Napier on chicken dung and the nearby landfill. Distance between two lines is the same width of the bed.

Fill soil in the line

2.3.2 Fertilizing Napier grass

After 2 weeks of planting Napier grass should be applied with fertilizer urea to standardize and facilitate the growth of grass growing grass. Content is the element
15

N fertilizer to meet the needs of Napier grass. Appropriate time for seeding fertilizer is in the morning.

Sprinkle urea fertilizer at Napier grass

Take urea fertilizing in the store

2.3.3 Find Napier grass stem cutting

To plant Napier grass we use stem cuttings. to get our stem cuttings taken in the old Napier grass. This area also provides seed from stem cuttings. Usually one piece with three until five segments. Some employers are not as common segment. For we use the sickle and machete to cut the grass stem.

2.3.4 Harvesting Napier grass The first cut is taken from 60 to 75 days after planting. Subsequent cuts are taken after 30-45 days or when the plants attain a height of 1 m. Annually at least 6 to 8 cuts are possible. The fodder has to be cut closer to the ground level for more profuse tillering

100 - 150 MT/acre/year green fodder is obtained on an average if it is cultivated as a single crop. Hybrid Napier can be cultivated as a single crop or intercrop with banana etc. Vegetative growth is reduced to dormant during winter.

2.3.5 Find Mengkirai leaf & Mahang leaf

Besides that, our company to find leaves and Mahang leaf martens to food buffalo. Our company is the operator and the buffalo feed. In addition to leaves and leaf Mahang martens, we also find jackfruit leaves. Mahang leaves and leaf martens in forest and bush. The leaves of wild plant species, there is any area of this plant.

2.3.6 Sowing jack fruit & Planting jackfruit Sowing

Our company is also planting trees to sufficient supply of jackfruit leaves. Jackfruit leaves very limited rural areas. Before planting jackfruit trees should be planted earlier in the nursery. Planting medium ratio of 2:1. Two were planted bunches of oil palm waste, one for compost soil. Medium in poly bag need not be full of only 1 inch from the surface of the medium.

Make hole into medium surface

Put jackfruit seed into hole

Planting

After three weeks of sowing the jackfruit tree can be planted in the plot. Before planting for the cleaning of the area planted. Then make a hole in the width of a feet and a depth of two feet. After the placing of the tree in the hole and fill with topsoil just before the subsoil. As topsoil with organic matter that much compared to subsoil.

Clearing plant area

Example hole sizes width 1 feet and depth 2 feet

Fill the topsoil before subsoil

2.3.7 Trip & visits from the veterinary department

Practically the whole day, two days we visited. The first day of the cattle farm in the Kg. Paya Rajin and visit buffalo at the Wildlife Department Jenderak south.

The second day we went to visit poultry farms in Jengka 11. This chicken farm owned by our employer partners. On the second day we also visited the Pahang Veterinary Department to take samples of Napier grass.

3.0 CONCLUSION
Alhamdulillah, whit the name of almighty god and with power and bless at last, I have finish this practical report at the time & successful. Work as planters is a big challenge. To be a successful in this industry, as a student we need to learn many as we can. The practical that I was done are give me a lot of knowledge about management Napier Grass. It also teaches me a skill in how to manage and work as a planter. In their, I was learn how to pruning, weeding, manuring and many more. The knowledge that I get is very use full for the future. Lastly, I hope the commitment from Pintar Kesuma in conduct us will always in the hinges rate. I also hope Company Grass Park can teach us much new knowledge. InsyaALLAH the knowledge that I have will be mined forever.
