BMR Sorghum Sudan grass Heavyweight dwarf 50#

Heavyweight is a dwarf BMR variety. This variety combines two agronomic characteristics that positively impact quality. The brown midrib genetics (BMR) reduce total lignin in the plant, increasing digestibility in every bite. The dwarf characteristic does not negatively impact yield but instead improves leaf-to-stem ratio, which decreases indigestible fiber. These tightened internode spaces also make the dwarf varieties more resilient when it comes to harvest height. This trait is a designation of sugarcane aphid tolerance. While this is not true resistance, it is a measure that proves that this variety is less likely to be impacted by the aphids. When paired with other key management strategies, this will help reduce aphid losses tremendously.
