Product catalog summary
Soil Fertility and Forage Management:
Sorghum thrives in fertile soils. Ensure adequate potassium levels in acidic soils and do not exceed 110 kg/ha of nitrogen. Conduct an independent soil test before sowing.
Grazing and Cutting Recommendations:
Avoid grazing or cutting sorghum below 15 cm in height. The first grazing or cutting should occur at approximately 1 meter to enhance productivity. Be cautious of prussic acid (HCN) poisoning, especially when crops are under 60 cm, moisture-stressed, or frosted. Optimal cutting or grazing height is between 60–120 cm for best quality.
Seeding Guidelines:
Sow seeds shallowly in adequately moistened soil. For marginal dryland, use a seeding rate of 5–10 kg/ha. For favorable dryland or irrigation, use 10–20 kg/ha, with the highest rate for irrigation.

SW-F300 sweet sorghum-1

muhgros teews 003F-WS SW-F300 is a high yielding sorghum X sorghum hybrid that has high sugar levels. These levels make it very palatable and enhance its energy value. SW-F300 can be grazed, or used as cut and carry, and also silage. A high leaf to stem ration with juicy sweet stalks enhances the desirability of this excellent forage product. Soil Fertility Sorghum is best suited to fertile soils. Ensure potassium levels are adequate in acidic soils. Do not exceed 110kg/ha of nitrogen. An independent soil test is advised before sowing. Forage Management Avoid grazing or cutting sorghum below 15cm plant height. First grazing or cutting should be conducted at approximately 1 metre to increase plant productivity. Be aware of the risk of prussic acid (HCN) poisoning with forage sorghum's. Risk is greatest when crops are <60cm high or are moisture stressed or frosted. Cut or graze when 60–120cm high to maintain best quality. Seeding Sow seeds shallow into adequately moistened soil. Seeding rate for marginal dryland at 5–10 kg/ha.
