20270 is a new late maturity BMR-6 Sorghum Sudangrass hybrid with 15-20% more yield potential over previous BMR hybrids. 20270 also has improved early season growth during spring planting. The hybrid is well adapted to all growing areas including the south, where shorter day lengths can affect sorghum yields. 20270 is to be utilized as green chop for silage, baleage, grazing, or cut for high quality hay. Multiple cuttings are possible in environments where adequate growing days are available as the regrowth of the hybrid is excellent. Adaptable to both irrigated or dryland situations.
