BRACHYTIC DWARF Four dwarfing genes in sorghum control height. These brachytic dwarfism genes reduce the length of the internodes without affecting other plant characteristics such as leaf number, leaf size, maturity or yield/biomass production. Brachytic dwarf sorghums, sorghum sudngrasses have very high leaf-to-stalk ratios, prolific tillering, superior standability and comparable tonnage to normal height sorghums.
BMR-6 BMR-6 sorghums have less Lignin than conventional sorghums and are extremely palatable. The high digestibility rivals corn silage as the choice for improved animal performance.
DRY STALK Dry stalk hybrids allow growers to ensile or bale at reduced moisture levels with less opportunity for spoilage. When harvested at the soft dough stage, dry stalk forage sorghums have approximately 8% to 10% less moisture at harvest. Dry stalk sudangrass hybrids can be stored much sooner as baleage or haylage than non–dry stalk types and can be harvested as dry hay.
PHOTOPERIOD SENSITIVE (PS) PS sorghums have a wide window for harvest. The PS sorghums initiate flowering in response to day length and will remain vegetative from mid-March through September, adding new leaves and maintaining very high-quality forage. The flexible harvest window of PS sorghum helps growers manage weather or custom harvest scheduling
