SPS Sudan Hay
HIGH YIELD | DROUGHT/SALINITY TOLERANT HAYBRID
This is a high yielding, drought and salinity tolerant, sorghum sudangrass hybrid that has extremely high digestibility (NDFD Test 60-70%), which is similar to BMR varieties. A high leaf to stem ratio with thin sweet stalks enhances the desirability of this grass and makes it an excellent baled hay crop.
