A Late Maturing Sorghum Sudangrass Hybrid for Direct Grazing and Hay

This hybrid boasts the significant yield advantages of photoperiod sensitive varieties but can be sown for any day length because it possesses a delayed maturity, with no sensitivity to day length.

Because HONEY DROP LS is 25 to 30 days later than typical Sorghum x Sudangrass hybrids, growers can delay harvest to increase crop growth and obtain as much as 25% greater forage yields.The delayed maturity affords a wider window for harvest before heading.

Digestibility data from research suggests that HONEY DROP LS has a greater IVTD value and, higher protein content, than other conventional Sorghum X Sudangrass hybrids. When comparing true digestible dry mater, this hybrid produce 201% more than most commercial checks.

This conventional Sorghum x Sudangrass with delayed maturity has exceptional drought resistance, high green leaf retention, excellent tillering and re-growth capacity, and excellent standability.
