The late maturity (LM) concept produces hybrids (sorghum/sudangrass) 20-30 days later than conventional sorghum/sudangrass hybrids. This late maturity allows a wider window for harvest of high quality leaves before the boot stage is reached. This LM brown midrib hybrid has a greater IVTD value and higher crude protein. IVTD of this brown midrib hybrid was 20 percent-plus more than a commercial check in trials. This hybrid has a wide range of adaptation because of its drought resistance and yield of quality forage. It can produce as much as 30 tons of organic matter for the soil.
