Crop Use: Suitable for silage, dry hay, continuous grazing, and rotational grazing. Recommended cutting heights are 24" to start and 6" to stop.
Characteristics & Ratings: Medium-early maturity with 60 days to boot stage. It has high ratings for forage quality, palatability, digestibility, and disease resistance.
Management and Production Guide:
  • Strengths: Good early vigor, adaptability, low water requirement, versatile usage.
  • Seeding: Plant in soil temperatures above 60º F, with a depth of 1". Avoid high pH soils.
  • Fertility: Conduct soil tests and apply nitrogen based on growth plans. Maintain potassium levels and consider foliar iron applications if needed.
  • Harvest: For optimal quality, harvest at 40 days or 40" growth. Manage drydown by swathing and wilting before silage chopping.
Avoiding Nitrate and Prussic Acid Poisoning: Avoid large nitrogen applications before droughts, do not harvest drought-damaged plants immediately after rain, and wait before feeding silage.
Multi-Year Quality Data: AS6201 shows superior performance in terms of ADF, CP, DM yield, IVTD, NDF, and NDFd compared to other hybrids.
