Optimum Stand Height for Forage Brown Midrib Sorghum · Sudangrass in North-eastern USA
Brown midrib sorghum · sudangrass is attracting attention in the north-eastern USA because of its ability to produce acceptable forage yields on marginal corn ground. Other potential advantages include conservation of soil on highly erosive ground, the possibility to spread manure midsummer (after first cutting) when runoff risk is minimal, greatly reduced needs for herbicides and the potential...
متن کاملComparison of Brown Midrib Sorghum with Conventional Sorghum Forage for Grazing Dairy Cows
A brown midrib (BMR) sorghum pasture was compared with normal sorghum for its effects on performance of Holstein cows in midlactation in terms of milk production and composition at grazing over three periods (Period 1: 20/01 to 31/01, Period 2: 17/02 to 28/02, Period 3: 19/03 to 30/03). Forty Holstein cows were grouped according to pre-experimental milk production (22.4 ± 4.2 kg/d milk), live w...
متن کاملBrown Midrib Forage Sorghum, Sudangrass, and Corn: What Is the Potential?
Brown midrib, a genetic mutation in several grassy species, reduces lignin content in the total plant parts. Lignin is mostly indigestible but also plays an important role in plant rigidity. During the past several years the brown midrib (bmr) trait has been incorporated into forage sorghum, sudangrass, and corn. The results have been significant for the most part. IVTD values for bmr sorghum h...
متن کاملPotassium Management for Brown Midrib Sorghum · Sudangrass as Replacement for Corn Silage in the North-eastern USA
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in brown midrib (BMR) sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) · sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense Piper) hybrids (SxS) as a replacement for silage corn (Zea mays L.) in the north-eastern USA. Recent studies suggest it is suitable for both rotational grazing and as a hay crop and could compete with corn harvested for silage in years when wet spring c...
