Introducing our remarkable product, the 19040 Medium Maturity Soft Dough Sorghum Silage. This exceptional sorghum silage has a height of 7-8 ft, standing well beyond harvest maturity at 65-70% moisture content. With its cutting-edge genetics, this hybrid elevates various aspects of performance, including forage and grain yield, silage quality, disease resistance, and standability.
One of the key advantages of this hybrid is its enlarged kernel size, facilitating smoother processing during harvest. In comparison to both corn and most sorghum hybrids, it shines with exceptional leaf retention. Notably, its drought tolerance and grain filling capabilities are unparalleled, setting new standards for excellence. The journey to the soft dough stage is swift, occurring within 110-115 days.
For those seeking multiple cutting baleage, the optimal window is during the boot stage at 70-80 days. Astounding yields of 25-30 tons of silage have been consistently achieved with the 19040 hybrid. Rigorous lab tests underscore its exceptional sugar and starch levels, along with impressive protein, NDFD 30, and IVTD metrics.
Furthermore, the compact and leafy plant structure forms a protective canopy, effectively minimizing weed pressure and conserving moisture during crucial grain filling periods. Experience the future of sorghum silage with the 19040 Medium Maturity Soft Dough variety – a testament to innovation and agricultural advancement.
