Summer Annual Management: Planting Date:Late April through mid August. Soil temperature should be 60°F to 65°F or warmer. Planting too early can cause slow early growth and reduced population.

Planting Depth: 3/4" to 1 1/2" deep depending on soil moisture.

Row Width: Drilled rows for best quality.

Planting Method: Drill preferred.

Fertility: Nitrogen: 75 to 100 lbs./acre PPI & 50 to 75 lbs./acre after first cutting. Phosphorus: 20 to 60 lbs./acre, more if soil test indicates less than 30 lbs./acre.

Potassium: 40 to 80 lbs./acre, more if soil test indicates less than 300 lbs./acre.

Planting rates for hybrid sudangrass and sorghum x sudangrass depends on a number of factors including location, growing conditions, management, etc. The above rates serve as a guide.
Harvesting Management: Do not cut or graze until forage reaches 18" in height. Cut at 24" to 36" for best quality and yield. Cut 6" to 8" above ground level for fastest regrowth. Condition with a crimper at a slight diagonal to speed drying and regrowth. Wilt to 50% to 60% moisture for storage in a bunker or concrete stave silo and 45% to 55% for a sealed storage system. Forage should be about 85% to 90% plant moisture at cutting. Chop at 1/4" to 1/8" cutting length to improve packing.

Harvesting Height

Grazing 18" - 24"

Hay / Haylage 24" - 36"

Greenchop 30" - 40"

Yeild

2 to 4 cuttings depending on planting date, management and growing season. 3 to 6 tons/acre dry matter (20 to 40 tons green weight)
