WONDERLEAF FORAGE MILLET SEED

Hybrid Overview

HYBRID PEARL MILLET

Wonderleaf is a bush-type hybrid pearl millet seed with high yield potential. It grows quickly, reaching the boot stage in 62 days. With a high level of tolerance to many pathogens and high humidity, this hybrid pearl millet cannot tolerate standing surface water. Wonderleaf can be grown on as little as 16″ of water; however, greater tonnage will be produced with greater water availability.

  • Bush-type hybrid with high yield potential
  • Tall, upright and heavy tillering
  • Excellent for warm-season pasture or hay
  • Widely adapted to many diverse geographic regions
  • No prussic acid concerns
