ADV S6404 SORGHUM SUDANGRASS 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.

The BMR-6 characteristic increases feedstock utilization and efficiency. AS6501 remains in a vegetative state when the plant receives at least 12 hours and 20 minutes of daily sunlight, allowing the greatest harvest flexibility. Falling below this threshold, it begins booting.
