Later Grazer BMR
This hybrid has a wide range of adaptations because of its excellent drought resistance and yield of quality multi-purpose forage for direct pasture and hay. It has a higher protein and digestibility than conventional sorghum/sudan hybrids, high green leaf retention, good tillering, re-growth and recovery capability.
Brown midrib (bmr) gives more value to this Late Maturity (LM) hybrid. The late maturity (LM) concept produces hybrids (sorghum/sudangrass)
|
that are 20-30 days later than conventional sorghum/sudan hybrids. This late maturity allows a wider window for harvest of high quality leaves before boot stage is reached. This LM/brown midrib hybrid produces greater IVTD value and a higher crude protein. IVTD of this hybrid was 20+% more than a commercial check in trials.
- Excellent stand ability
- Multiple usages
- High tonnage
- Higher digestibility & crude protein
