All ratings are general. Different pathotypes, races, and biotypes of diseases and insects can cause ratings to change.
All ratings are based on Warner field screenings and university screenings.
HR = High Resistance, HT = Highly Tolerant, T = Tolerant, MT = Moderately Tolerant, S = Susceptible, 1 = Poor, 10 = Excellent
Management Notes:
Sucrosse 5-R BMR is the top choice for the dairy or beef producer. This hybrid gives you excellent tonnage while producing
feed that is significantly higher in digestibility than conventional hybrids. Higher digestibility can improve milk production and
increased weight gain. Leaves and stems are very palatable and remain tender through all cuttings. Good management
practices are critical for best results. Standability can be compromised if harvest is not timely.
Horses should not graze on this hybrid. |
