19011 BMR Dwarf
(Sorgo Sorghum-Sudangrass)
Grazing, Baleage, or Hay, 19011 is a new medium maturity dwarf BMR-6 sorghum sudangrass hybrid. 19011 is a single or multi cut for hay, baleage, or silage applications. This hybrid has almost twice as many leaves and half the height. With a strong foliar disease package and a fast ground canopy, the results are a harvest of extremely digestible, leafy, high quality forage. Utilizing the hybrid for grazing is outstanding as the cattle prefer the increased leaf concentration. Reduced plant height is a benefit as you won't lose sight of the cattle, and they don't step on it as much like standard hybrids making grazing management easier.
