EMPYR AS9302 FORAGE SORGHUM SEED

Hybrid Overview

MEDIUM MATURITY SUDANGRASS

AS9302 is the first BMR-6, brachytic dwarf hybrid sudangrass to hit the market. The BMR-6 gene adds high digestibility to a plant that has very fine stems and tremendous regrowth. The brachytic dwarf trait adds a much tighter distance between internodes, allowing for a lower cutting/grazing height and better standability. The dry stalk trait allows for quick dry-down, making this one of the most versatile forage products on the market.

  • Brachytic dwarf trait provides stout stalks for excellent standability
  • Excellent for dry hay and rotational grazing
  • Dry stalk for quick dry-down
  • Exceptional regrowth and BMR-6 for high digestibility
