Description
ADV F8322 Forage Sorghum is a medium-season silage with grain. It was the first forage sorghum with Aphix-level sugarcane aphid tolerance. It provides excellent seedling vifor and plant uniformity. The hybrid also offers excellent standability and is an exceptional producer in a wide range of growing conditions, consistently outyielding competitors in the same class by up to 20%.
Suggested seeding rates: In the Midwest, 6-7 lbs/acre (Maximum 100,000 seeds/acre)
Approx. seeds/lb.: 12-14,000 (check seed bag)
Seeding depth: Drill 1″ – 1½″ deep in a firm, moist and warm seedbed.
Preferred soils: Medium to lighter soils that are well drained. Do not plant in high pH soils. See tech sheet for more information.
Establishment: ADV F8322 Forage sorghum should be planted after soil temperature reaches at least 60° F and is climbing.
Management:
- Nitrogen fertility should not exceed 100 units per acre including available nitrogen in the soil.
- Potassium levels should be kept up, particularly if the soil pH is lower than 6.2.
- ADV F8322 Forage sorghum is usually harvested around 105 days after emergence.
- For highest foliage protein levels, cut prior to heading
- Protein levels will decline as harvest is delayed, however energy will increase upon heading.
- Optimum harvest recommendation is when 80 percent or more of heading has occurred to soft dough stage of the grain.
