Sorghum Sudan(Non-BMR)



Crop Type | Seeds/Lb | Minimum Germination Temperature |
---|---|---|
warm season grass | 18,000 | 65F |
Sorghum-Sudan when compared to sudan grass, has a larger stem and less leaf matter, but is still high in forage quality and will produce more biomass. A dense, fibrous root system will help alleviate surface compaction, prevent erosion and accumulate nitrogen. If you have grazing in mind, but cost is a concern, the non-BMR version is still extremely palatable and coupled with its quick growth capabilities, creates a desired forage very rapidly. It does need to be noted that because of its nutrient scavenging abilities, high nitrates might be an issue. Also, because this is a variety of sorghum, prussic acid is a concern depending on field and weather conditions. While risk is low, it’s best to have it checked if there is a concern.
