AF7401 FORAGE SORGHUM SEED

Hybrid Overview

ALL-STAR FULL SEASON SILAGE WITH GRAIN

AF7401 features a genetic combination of BMR-6 and brachytic dwarf that enhances both productivity and efficiency. AF7401 has a reduced internode length that creates a compact, leafy and prolific plant. However, it yields with taller sorghums due to the standability and tillering attributes of the brachytic dwarf characteristic. Producers get the best of both worlds: excellent forage qualities and a dependable high-yielding feedstock.

  • High-yielding performance
  • BMR-6 for superior forage quality
  • Brachytic dwarf genetics provide stout stalks for excellent standability
  • Economical performance and efficiency
