SilageKing Forage Sorghum Seed
PERFORMANCE
- Forage sorghum hybrid that efficiently produces high forage yields and is easy to manage
- Fits silage production needs of dairies and feedlots across the Southern Great Plains and Southwestern U.S.
- Efficient user of water and fertility
MANAGEMENT
- Uses a third less water and half the applied nitrogen fertilizer as corn for silage
- Reaches the soft-dough stage in approximately 115 days
- Strong stalks for very good standability
- Produces yields and silage quality comparable to corn for silage and exceeds corn on marginal soils
- Yields 5,000 to 7,000 pounds per acre of red grain, resulting in a very high grain-to-stover ratio. This significantly increases digestible dry matter per acre when fed as silage. The high protein content and total digestible nutrients make SilageKing perfect for the feedlot or dairy
