BMR 108 Leafy Forage Sorghum

• Significantly lower stem Lignin concentration
• Brachytic Dwarf reduces internode length and total height
• excellent standability

BMR 108 Leafy is the newest generation of BMR Forage Sorghums. It is a brachytic Dwarf. This trait reduces internode length, creating a very compact leafy Forage Sorghum. It will yield with taller sorghums but has the standability of shorter non BMR hybrids. Many of the early generations of BMRs had an issue with standability. Farmers either had to manage the BMRs for this or use a standard hybrid with lower Quality. Now the producer can have the best of all worlds, high yield, excellent quality and superior standability.

Harvest:

• BMR 108 Leafy is usually harvested 110 days after seeding.
• Protein will decline as harvest is delayed, but energy will increase upon heading because of continued sugar formation in the sorghum stalks and leaves, and carbohydrate deposition in the developing grains.

Seeding:

• Soil temperature should be at least 60° F
• BMR 108 Leafy is usually planted between April 10 and July 10.
• Can be no-tilled into the stubble of winter and spring crops
• Planting depth should be 1".
• If planted in soils with pH greater than 7.5 to 8.0 Chlorosis can be a problem.
• BMR 108 Leafy is an excellent companion with Forage Soybeans or Black Autrey Cowpeas.

Strengths:

• Highly digestible.
• Brachytic Dwarf.
• Compact structure.
• Equals corn in milk production.
• Excelent Standability.

Avoid Nitrate and Prussic Acid Poisoning from sorghum:

Avoid large nitrogen applications prior to expected drought periods. 2,4-D can increase Prussic Acid concentration for several weeks after application. Do not harvest drought-damaged plants within 4 days following a good rain. Do not green chop within 7 days of a killing frost. Cut at a higher stubble height, nitrates tend to accumulate in the lower stalk. Wait 1 month before feeding silage to give Prussic Acid enough time to escape.

Greengrazer V Sorghum x Sundangrass

• Small-seeded and thin-stemmed type
• Dark green color with Green Top trait
• Anthracnose and Downy Mildew resistant

Greengrazer V is a new small-seeded three way cross with thin stems that are highly palatable. Regrowth after cutting is very fast. Greengrazer V is a dark green color and also possesses the Green Top trait, which allows for further extension of the plant. Planting Greengrazer V at higher populations per acre will result in a finer stemmed forage. Finer stems will allow the forage to dry faster for higher quality hay than is possible with thick stemmed types.

Harvest:

• Greengrazer V is usually harvested 63-65 days after seeding.
• Protein will decline as harvest is delayed, but energy will increase upon heading due to continued sugar formation in the sorghum stalks and leaves, and carbohydrate depostion in the developine grains.

Seeding:

• Soil temperature should be at least 60° F
• Greengrazer V is ussually planted between June 10 and July 10 in the northern states.
• Can be no-tilled into the stubble of winter and spring crops
• Planting depth should be1".
• Do not plant in soils with pH greater than 7.5 to 8.0. Chlorosis will be a severe problem.

Strengths:

• High yield potential.
• Thin-stemmed plant type.
• Small-seeded type.
• Dark green plant color.
• Green Top trait (further extension)
• Good overall disease resistance package.
• Resistant to Anthracnose and Downy Mildew
• Sweet juicy midrib.

Weaknesses:

• Moderate drought tolerence
• Poor storage-juicy midrib favors bacteria

Avoid Nitrate and Prussic Acid Poisoning from sorghum:

Avoid large nitrogen applications prior to expected drought periods. 2,4-D can increase Prussic Acid concentration for several weeks after application. Do not harvest drought-damaged plants within 4 days following a good rain. Do not green chop within 7 days of a killing frost. Cut at a higher stubble height, nitrates tend to accumulate in the lower stalk. Wait 1 month before feeding silage to give Prussic Acid enough time to escape.

Greentreat^® Dynomo
SORGHUM X SUDANGRASS HYBRID

EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR GRAZING OR FOR HAYING WHERE IT WILL BE MANAGED FOR MULTIPLE CUTS

• Shortened internodes designed to allow harvest height to be lower (2 inches) than other conventional or BMR hybrids.
• Creates leaf-to-stem ratios often in excess of 100%.
• Carries superb re-growth and standability characteristics for
  grazing.
• The Brachytic Dwarf BMR-6 Gene aims to support maximum digestibility and animal performance.

Greentreat^® Plus
SORGHUM X SUDANGRASS HYBRID

DESIGNED FOR AREAS WHERE HEAT AND BROUGHT STRESS ARE A PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO AIMED TO PERFORM WELL UNER A ONE-CUT PROGRAM IN THE WEST.

• A photoperiod sensitive BMR-6 product with exceptional versatility; was designed to allow for a wider harvest window than any other FORAGE FIRST® Sorghum x Sudangrass product.
• One of the most drought tolerant Sorghum x Sudangrass
  products in our lineup.
• Will remain in the vegetative state when the plant receives a minimum of 12 hours and 45 minutes of daily sunlight. Once day length falls below this threshold, it will go to a reproductive state.
• Outstanding forage yield and quality potential best suited for hay.
