AF7102 FORAGE SORGHUM SEED

Hybrid Overview

MEDIUM MATURITY SORGHUM-SUDANGRASS

AF7102 is an early BMR-6 forage sorghum with great standability. Northern producers are able to reach high yield potential with tremendous forage quality of a BMR-6 without the issues of lodging. This hybrid works best in areas north of I-70 where humidity and the shorter growing season tend to be a challenge. AF7102 can be used in southern states for late planting or early harvest situations. The tillering capabilities of this hybrid are unsurpassed, allowing for increased yields and ground cover.

  • Harvest 85-89 days after emergence
  • Short stature genetics provide stout stalks for excellent standability
  • Excellent for silage
  • Double crop silage option
