Management Notes:
Sucrosse 9-R PS is a photoperiod sensitive sorghum-sudangrass hybrid that delivers the same tremendous yield as our
2-Way 199 PS. Long, broad leaves give plants a high leaf to stalk ratio and good palatability. Careful management practices
are critical for best results. If high tonnage and excellent regrowth are important to you, incorporate Sucrosse 9-R PS into
your production system this year.
Horses should not graze on this hybrid. |
