Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed information on the AS6402 hybrid sorghum-sudangrass, highlighting its characteristics, management practices, and suitability for various growing conditions.
Specifications:
  • Hybrid Characteristics: AS6402 is a late maturity sorghum-sudangrass with a Brachytic dwarf trait, offering a high leaf-to-stem ratio, superior standability, and excellent re-growth. It is suitable for silage, dry hay, and grazing.
  • Seeding Rates: Varies based on local conditions. Consult Alta Seeds retailers for recommendations.
  • Field Positioning: Highly suitable for high yield dryland, limited and full irrigation, and no-till systems. Suitable for tough dryland and poorly drained soils.
Management and Production Guide:
  • Seeding: Plant when soil temperature is at least 60º F. Recommended planting depth is 1" with a seeding rate based on local recommendations.
  • Fertility: Conduct soil tests to determine fertility needs. Apply nitrogen based on planned growth duration and adjust for less than optimal conditions. Maintain potassium levels and consider foliar iron applications if soil pH is high.
  • Harvest: For optimal quality and yield, harvest at 40 days or 40" of growth. Ensure proper cutting height for re-growth.
Safety Considerations:
  • Avoid large nitrogen applications before droughts to prevent Prussic Acid concentration. Do not harvest drought-damaged plants immediately after rain or frost.
Multi-Year Quality Data:
  • AS6402 shows favorable results in terms of Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Crude Protein (CP), Dry Matter (DM) yield, and digestibility compared to other hybrids.

AS6402 Late Maturity Sorghum-Sudangrass • Brachytic dwarf characteristic provides high leaf-to-stem ratio • Superior standability and excellent re-growth • Superb tonnage under multiple harvest systems • BMR-6 provides high-quality nutrition Recommended Seeding Rates: Vary depending on local growing conditions. Please see your Alta Seeds retailer for local recommendations. | Primary area of adaptation CHARACTERISTICS & RATINGS Late Relative Maturity 70 Days to Boot Stage BMR-6 Midrib 14-16 Seeds/Lb (1,000) - check seed bag Begin Height 18" • Stop Height 4" AS6402 represents the newest generation of hybrid sorghum-sudangrass products. AS6402 has reduced internode length, creating a very compact, leafy and prolific plant. However, it will yield with taller sorghum-sudangrass hybrids due to the standability and tillering attributes of the Brachytic dwarf trait. Producers will have the best of both worlds, excellent forage qualities from BMR-6 and a dependable high-yielding feedstock.
