SHIELD XTRA SILE KING FORAGE SORGHUM 20KG BAG EPG SEEDS 4194164

Sile King is a medium to late maturing grain silage hybrid suitable for high quality, high yielding pit/bunker silage in dairy and beef production systems.

Selected for its high grain to stover ratio, Sile King is a great option for intensive livestock producers seeking an alternative to maize.

It has high first cut yield potential, plus grain content.

It is very palatable, and has excellent nutritional value, good protein levels and metabolizable energy, giving excellent overall digestibility.

Performance:

Under good management this hybrid is an excellent supplementary feed source for dairy and beef herds.
Sile King has the ability to grow well in hotter environments, and is an excellent option for irrigated and high yield environment planting.

Agronomy, Disease Resistance and Tolerance:

Sile King has displayed good disease resistance.
As with all forage sorghum, feed testing is recommended prior to feeding livestock to measure prussic acid and nitrate levels especially in early growth grazing or in stressed conditions.
For more information on feed management of forage sorghum, such as the use of supplement blocks, refer to your local agronomist or state government primary producer websites.
