Sorghum bicolor x S. bicolor var. sudanese
Poaceae (grass family)
Location: Small grains
Origin: Africa
Biophysical Requirements: Warm-season hybrid of sorghum and Sudangrass. Heat- and drought-tolerant.
Uses: Grazed by animals or mechanically chopped and hauled to animals as green forage. Also used as a summer cover crop to smother weeds, suppress root knot nematodes and increase soil organic matter. Stems are thicker than Sudangrass making it more difficult to harvest for forage.
