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 matter,
this hybrid produces 201% more than most commercial
checks.
