SS 3400 PPS 50lb TR Sorghum Sudangrass Hybrid

Sorghum-sudangrass 3400 (SS 3400) is a specific Photoperiod Sensitive (PPS) hybrid commonly used for livestock forage, silage, and cover cropping. It is highly valued for biomass production. Key Characteristics of SS 3400 include the following: Photoperiod Sensitivity: This hybrid stays in a vegetative state longer than traditional varieties, allowing it to produce high yields and crude protein levels without going to seed. Uses: It is well-suited for multiple cuttings, silage, baleage, or grazing. Yield Potential: It can grow very tall (up to 12 feet) and produces significant dry matter, making it an excellent soil builder and weed suppressor. Planting Guidelines Timing: Plant in the late spring or early summer once soil temperatures reach 65°F to 70°F and the danger of frost has fully passed. Depth: Seed at a depth of one half to one and one half inches, depending on your soil type. Seeding Rates: Typically 35 to 40 lbs per acre when drilled, or slightly higher (40 to 50 lbs) if broadcasted
