  • Drilled: 80,000–100,000 seeds/acre
  • Soil Temperature: At least 60º F
  • Planting Depth: 1.5 inches into moisture
Fertility Management:
  • Conduct a soil test to determine fertility requirements.
  • Limit nitrogen to 125 pounds per acre.

  • For soil pH above 7.5, consider foliar iron application to prevent Iron Chlorosis.
Harvest Guidelines:
  • Harvest 95–100 days after emergence at the soft dough stage for optimal yield and nutrition.
Safety Precautions:
  • Avoid large nitrogen applications before droughts to prevent Prussic Acid concentration.
  • Do not harvest drought-damaged plants within four days of rain.
  • Avoid greenchopping within seven days of a killing frost.
  • Cut at a higher stubble height to reduce nitrate accumulation.
  • Wait one month before feeding silage to allow Prussic Acid to dissipate.
