Key Benefits

  • Increase Organic Matter

  • Deep Rooting

  • Excellent Forage

Sorghum sudangrass is a hybrid between sudangrass and forage sorghums (used mainly for once-cut silage). As a cover crop sorghum sudangrass is a rapid growing summer annual grass with a tremendous root system and large amounts of biomass for building soil and suppressing weeds. Best used for haylage, green-chop and short term pasture/grazing, sorghum sudangrass is not as suitable for dry hay due to larger stems than sudangrass.
