Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on AS5201, a Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid developed by Alta Seeds. It highlights the hybrid's adaptability, usage, and management practices for optimal production.
Specifications: AS5201 is a medium maturity hybrid with a 65-day boot stage. It is non-BMR with a standard midrib and has a seed count of 15-17 seeds per pound. The hybrid is noted for its high dry matter yield potential, excellent early season vigor, and re-growth capabilities.
Field Positioning: AS5201 is highly suitable for tough dryland conditions and suitable for high yield dryland, limited irrigation, full irrigation, no-till, and poorly drained soils. It requires management in anthracnose and fusarium prone areas.
Crop Use: The hybrid is versatile, suitable for silage, dry hay, and grazing. It is particularly ideal for dryland or limited irrigation production.
Seeding Recommendations: Planting should occur when soil temperatures are at least 60º F, with a depth of 1 inch. The seeding rate should follow local recommendations, and the hybrid can be no-tilled into stubble from previous crops.
Fertility Management: A soil test is recommended to determine fertility needs. Nitrogen application should be adjusted based on growth conditions, and potassium levels should be maintained, especially if soil pH is below 6.2. Foliar iron may be necessary if pH is above 7.0.
Harvest Guidelines: For optimal quality and yield, harvest at 40 days or 40 inches of growth. Protein content decreases with delayed harvest, while energy content increases. Maintain a cutting height of 6 inches for re-growth.
Safety Precautions: To avoid nitrate and prussic acid poisoning, manage nitrogen applications carefully, especially before droughts. Avoid harvesting drought-damaged plants shortly after rain or frost, and allow silage to sit for a month before feeding.
