FSG 115 BRACHYTIC DWARF BMR6 HYBRID FORAGE SORGHUM

  • Dwarfing gene increases leaf to stem ratio and provides superior standability
  • Significantly lower stem lignin concentration
  • Improved digestibility & palatability equals milk production of rations with corn
  • Requires 1/3 less water than corn for same production
  • Grain producing hybrid
  • 95 day maturity for northern states and 110 day maturity for transistion states

FSG 115 is a brachytic dwarf, brown midrib, grain producing hybrid forage sorghum. Because the lignin content of the stalk has been dramatically reduced, IVDMD is 40% greater than conventional forage sorghums. FSG 115 with this improvement in digestibility and palatability, can equal the milk production of rations with corn with a water requirement 1/3 less than would be required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. Because FSG 115 is a grain producing hybrid, energy will increase as carbohydrates form in the grain head.
