SORGHUM
In the United States and other countries across the globe, sorghum grain is primarily used for livestock feed and ethanol production but it is becoming popular in the consumer food industry and other emerging markets. Traditionally, nearly one-third of the U.S. sorghum crop is used for renewable fuel production. In fact, sorghum produces the same amount of ethanol per bushel as comparable feedstocks while using up to one-third less water.
Legend Seeds is proud to offer a full lineup of grain sorghum, forage sorghum, and sorghum-sudangrass. Read below to determine which type of sorghum would best fit your operation:
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.
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.
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.
Talk to your Legend Seeds representative today to determine which sorghum would be best for your operation!
Rating Scale: 10-1; 10 = Superior, 5 = Average, 1 = Poor
Head Type: SC = Semi-compact; SO = Semi-Open
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.

Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
