Description

KGS 9299AT Sorghum Sudangrass is a small seeded, thin stemmed conventional sorghum sudangrass hybrid developed as a dual-purpose forage for grazing or hay. KGS 9299AT produces abundance of fine stem and sweet leafy forage relished by livestock. With fast re-growth, KGS 9299AT it recovers quickly after cutting or grazing, which provides for multiple grazing or hay harvest. With exceptional drought tolerance, fast regrowth and high yield, KGS 9299AT Sorghum Sudangrass will provides tons of high quality forage second to none in production and quality.

Unlike many commonly sold sorghum sudangrass varieties KGS 9299AT has shown to have good tolerance to SCA (Sugar Cane Aphids) throughout South & Central Texas.

Planting Information:

Harvest Information:

• Harvest schedules vary on the basis planting date, geographic location and weather.
• For the best quality and yield under a multicut program, harvest at 40 days or 40” of growth, whichever comes first.
• Protein will decline as harvest is delayed. Energy will  increase upon heading due to continued sugar formation in the sorghum stalks and leaves, and carbohydrate  deposition in the developing grain. 
• Careful attention should be paid to the cutting height. For regrowth, two nodes or 6” of stubble is optimal. Sharp blades provide for a clean cut and enhance regrowth.
• Sorghum species dry slowly because of their drought  tolerance. One method of managing dry-down in silage is to swath the crop, allow it to wilt to the desired moisture  level, and then pick up the windrows with a silage chopper.
