19011 BMR Dwarf (NEW)
19011 Dwarf BMR-6 is an early hybrid with 40% more leaf density due to the leaf count and leaf
width. The results are a digestible high-quality forage. Fiber quality is improved 15-20% due to
the BMR and 5-10% for the increased leaf to stem ratio. Grazability is improved as the cattle
prefer the reduced height and standability. It produces similar tonnage, superior standability and
reduced seeding rates compared to tall hybrids.
