SSA 171 BMR6 DS is a brown midrib, male sterile hybrid forage sorghum that reaches harvest maturity approximately 75 days from planting. Because the lignin content of the stalk has been dramatically reduced, digestibility improves by 35%over conventional forage sorghums. SSA 171 BMR6 DS forage sorghum, with this improvement in digestibility and palatability, can equal the milk production of rations of corn. Plant at the recommended rates for your area and harvest timely for optimum yield and quality. The water requirement for SSA 171 BMR6 DS is 1/3 less than would be required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. Because SSA 171 BMR6 DS is a male sterile hybrid, volunteer growth is not an issue provided there is adequate isolation from pollen fertile sorghums.
