Sorghum (seed treatment)

Nudan (Centaur) is characterised by prolific tillering and fast recovery following grazing or cutting. Its fine stems make it ideal for smaller livestock such as sheep and also for hay production. This ensures ease of management, particularly over large areas in periods of wet weather when cutting may be delayed.

Key Features:

Sudan x Sudan Grass Hybrid
Fine stemmed for improved conservation quality
Photoperiod sensitive with delayed flowering
Increased tillering
Good option as a forage or for green manure crops

Advantages:

Higher forage quality than other sorghum types
Lower prussic acid than other forage sorghums
Rapid regrowth and recovery

Benefits:

High yields with high quality
Excellent for hay and round bale silage
Maintains quality if grazing or cutting is delayed

Variety Management/Agronomy:

Its fine stems make it ideal for smaller livestock such as sheep and also for hay production. This ensures ease of management, particularly over large areas in periods of wet weather when cutting may be delayed. Grazing or cutting should not be unnecessarily delayed, and it is recommended to graze or cut the crop when it is around 1m-1.5m (3-4ft) tall. Favourable conditions will be conducive to multiple cuts or grazing throughout the season.

Seed Treatments:

A range of seed treatments available. Please contact your local supplier for details.

Suggested Sowing Rates:

Marginal Dryland:* 3-7kg/ha
Good Dryland:* 7-20kg/ha
Irrigation: 15-20kg/ha
*Dryland planting rates based on good stored soil moisture at time of sowing.

Active Ingredient: Thiram

Chemical Schedule: S6

For use on: Sorghum (seed treatment)

Host: Sorghum. Target: Seed-borne fungal diseases
Sow NUDAN FORAGE SORGHUM from October to January when soil temperature is consistently above 18°C (ideally 20–25°C) into good soil moisture. Sow at 8–12 kg/ha drilled in rows 50–75 cm apart, or 10–15 kg/ha broadcast, at a depth of 20–40 mm for reliable germination. Allow 6–8 weeks before first grazing when plants reach 60–80 cm tall; never graze younger sorghum due to dangerous prussic acid levels. Thiram-treated seed provides protection against seedling disease for reliable establishment. Tips: This is the highest-yielding summer annual forage crop for SE and central Queensland. Expect rapid regrowth and multiple grazings through summer and autumn until the first frost. Avoid grazing wet, lush sorghum to prevent bloat; ensure stock have access to other roughage. After frost or drought stress, wait a minimum of 5–7 days before grazing regrowth, as prussic acid levels remain dangerously high in stressed plants.
