Sweet Cane Max Forage Sorghum (MS)

    Description

    Sweet Cane Max is a medium maturity male sterile, forage sorghum. This hybrid fits well in a high-quality forage production or grazing operations. It has superior standability to other hybrids. Sweet Cane should be used in single cutting/grazing or winter grazing scenarios.  When drying conditions are favorable it can be used for hay. Usually it is cut once the plant has headed out for highest sugar content or used for winter stockpile grazing. Sweet Cane will not produce grain unless pollinated with other sorghums, so isolation is recommended to protect sterility.
