AF7202 90-95 Day

Product Description

AF7202 is a medium season BMR-6 Brachytic dwarf forage sorghum. It provides high yield potential with tremendous forage quality of a BMR-6 without the issues of lodging. This hybrid works best in areas south of I-70 where humidity and disease tend to be a challenge. The tillering capabilities of this hybrid are unsurpassed, allowing for increased yields and ground cover. This hybrid is the answer for those in the South looking for a forage sorghum with high-yielding, high-quality, soft dough cutting with the potential for an additional cutting of equal yield and quality.

Forage Sorghum

Alta brand non GMO forage sorghums offer dairy and livestock producers an alternative to corn silage and multi-cut sorghum sudans. Alta brand forage sorghums are selected for high nutritional and agronomic benefits for today’s livestock producer. The BMR 6 genetics vault sorghum into the realm of super star forages for maximum fiber digestibility and increased palatability, making excellent dairy feed. We offer forage sorghum with maturity ranges from 83 day up to 110 days. Alta offers brachytic dwarf and male sterile products, the brachytic dwarf characteristics make sorghum an agronomically sound crop. (It can stay standing up until harvest.)  Energy levels are comparable to corn and protein level is around 10 to 12%. It is more efficient than corn, much less expensive to plant than corn, as well as higher yielding than corn in the southern Midwest, additional forage sorghum vs corn comparisons.
