What Napier yield per acre is realistic, and why do claims vary so much?
sourced
Reported Napier biomass ranges from roughly 130 tonnes per acre per year on poorly managed land to nearly 280 with drip irrigation and disciplined fertigation, with Super Napier brochures claiming 350-400. One well-managed interior Andhra farm reached close to 280 while a farm 40 km away on similar soil but saline borewell water struggled past 130. Require location-specific, multi-season data before believing any figure.
