All sorghum products are treated with:
Concep® III seed safener protects sorghum crops from herbicide injury and allows preemergence applications of herbicides containing S-metolachlor for ultimate grass and broadleaf weed control. Introduced in 1979, Concep® III was the first proven seed safener marketed for sorghum, controlling the phytotoxic effects of S-metolachlor herbicide for long lasting weed control.
Advantages:
• Unique seed safener for sorghum
• Protects grain and forage sorghum from herbicide injury
• Allows the use of Dual® and Bicep® brand herbicides for pre-emergent grass and broadleaf weed control.
Concep® is a registered trademark of a Syngenta Group Company.
Grain Sorghum
Grain Sorghum can take many shapes, sizes, and various colors. Red sorghum is traditionally grown and used in all segments of the sorghum industry while white sorghum is typically made into flour for the food industry.

Forage Sorghum
Forage Sorghum typically grows 8-15 feet tall and is most popular for use as silage for feeding livestock. Depending on which species and variety selected, forage sorghum can be used for grazing pasture, hay production, silage, and green-chop.
LFS 7022 BMR
- Days to Harvest 90-95
- Early BMR silage hybrid that makes a big grain head
- Excellent disease tolerance coming from both parent lines and has great standability
- Works really well in areas with short growing seasons, low rainfall, or limited irrigation and works great in double cropping systems
- 100% LDP Eligible

Sorghum-Sudangrass
Sorghum-Sudangrass is a cross between sorghum and sudangrass and is typically used for grazing, haying, and haylage. It is a finer stemmed, warm season, annual grass that will regrow after each harvest. Sorghum-sudangrass can grow up to 15 feet tall and typically has small seed heads with leaves that are similar to corn but are shorter and sometimes wider. Varieties with the BMR gene have significantly greater digestibility and palatability.
