Investigating use of Sorghum as part of Regenerative Agriculture management system using cover crops & mower-crimping, Alley Cropping, sheep manure in a zero till management system with treated waste water to green large desert region.
For silage the use of low prussic acid hybrids would be recommended and the sudangrass types with proven character and these should be trialed to determine their yield and adaptability under your conditions.
NK300:A high-quality sorghum hybrid by Sorghum Partners. Grain-based yield: NK300 gets more of its yield from grain, contributing to high-quality silage. Considerable starch content (19.7%). Suitable for silage production due to its high concentration of soluble carbohydrates and low buffering capacity. SP3904 BD BMR:Another excellent hybrid by Sorghum Partners. BMR (Brown Midrib) trait: Reduces lignin content, enhancing digestibility. High-quality silage due to its grain yield and favorable nutritional characteristics. Consider using SP3904 BD BMR for improved silage production. Qualysilo, Chopper, Dominator, and Maxisilo:These hybrids have been evaluated for silage quality. Qualysilo, Chopper, and Dominator are worth considering. Monitor their performance in your specific desert conditions. Assess their grain-to-stover ratio, digestibility, and overall suitability for silage production.
Sorghum - sudangrass combining traits can be a good option. Because it offer good biomass also tolerate heat and drought stress.
