Sorghum sudan grasses are crosses between forage-type sorghums and sundangrass.2. The cows love sorghum sweet flavor and the high protein and carbohydrates enables the cows to gain weight rapidly despite the summer heat.3. Sorghum sudan seed can grow from 5 to 12 feet tall, with stalks up to one half inch thick4. Sorghum sudan seed can be cultivated easily between temp 15 to 40°C, provided irrigation facilities. Gives upto 4-6 cuts under proper cultivated methods.5. Sorghum seed Good for medium soil landProduct DescriptionSorghum sudan seed:Description:Sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids offer a solution to producing forage dry matter when an emergency occurs. They are warm season grasses, unlike most of our forage species which are cool season grasses. Hybrids of Sorghum and Sudan grass are often used in Ontario. The resulting hybrid may favour either parent, so be sure to discuss what you want from the hybrid with your seed sales person. Sorghums are known for being drought resistant. They are more efficient in water absorption because they have twice as many secondary roots per unit of primary root as corn and have only half as much leaf area as corn for evaporation. Their water requirements are the same as corn but they have the ability to go dormant during extended drought periods. Growth will begin when the rains come.Sorghum-Sudan grasses yield slightly lower than corn when harvested for silage, but they have the advantage that they can be cut 2-3 times during the season and can also be stored as either chopped silage or wrapped bale silage, green chopped or pastured. Corn silage produces more tonnes per hectare but it must be harvested in the fall with specialized forage harvesting equipment. Sorghum-sudan grasses can also be harvested using a strip grazing system. They are thus more versatile to harvest than corn. The availability of harvesting equipment and the immediate need for forage will help you to decide between Sorghum-Sudan grass and other annual forages.Beneficial Effects of sorghum Sudan Seed:Sorghum sudan seed:Sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids fit best in summer feeding programs. They are thick stemmed and hard to dry for hay but they can supply ample yields of silage, green chop and pasture when perennial grasses are slowing down or going dormant. Once Sorghum-Sudan grass begins to head out, the quality and feeding value drop drastically. It is difficult to meet nutrient requirements of high production or early lactation milking cows when Sorghum-Sudan grass is a large part of the forage intake. It is more suited to rations for dry cows, replacement heifers over 12 months of age, and beef cows and calves.Pasture:Sorghum-Sudan grass may be pastured but livestock should not enter before the plants are 45 cm high. Trampling damage will be very high unless a strip or rotational grazing system is used. As the plants will reach this height by mid summer and are drought resistant, this can provide a source of feed during the summer slump of pastures.Healthy:As the crop matures, protein content drops rapidly, while fibre levels increase. This decreases the feed energy value and rumen digestibility. High NDF1 levels increase the bulkiness of the feed and dramatically reduce dry matter intake potential. A comparison of nutrient value of Sorghum-Sudan grass with the more common forages is shown in the following Table. Sorghum-sudangrass can contain as much protein as mature alfalfa, but only if harvested at the vegetative stage. Energy levels in vegetative material are similar to corn and higher than alfalfa. Sorghum-Sudan grass forage should always be sampled and tested for feed composition because of the variability in nutrient value.High Yield:The crop may also be harvested just once, at the hard dough stage, to get maximum volume in a one cut system. You will sacrifice yield that you could have captured under a 2 cut system. If this is your goal you should reconsider corn silage as it would yield more in a one cut system.At cutting, the crop is about 70-75% moisture and requires wilting before ensiling. It dries slower than alfalfa. Yield data is limited, but 5- 7.5 tonnes per hectare (2-3 tons /ac) are reported from research and farm experience. Yields vary with season, moisture and warmth, and are higher in hot summers than in cool ones.
