Hybrid Forage Sorghum Management: Planting Date: Late March through early June. Soil temperature should be 60°F to 65°F or warmer. Planting too early can result in slow early growth and reduced plant population.

Planting Depth: 1" to 1½" deep depending on soil moisture.

Row Width: 15" to 40" rows.

Fertility

Nitrogen: 7 lbs/acre per ton of silage harvested.

Phosphorus: 3 pounds/acre per ton of silage harvested.

Potassium: 7 lbs/acre per ton of silage harvested.

Magnesium: 1.7 pounds/acre per ton of silage harvested.

Sulfur: 0.8 pounds/acre per ton of silage harveted. Actual P & K needs should be based on current soil test levels.
