PER BAG FORAGE SORGHUM LUSH 20KG BAG HSR SEED NUSEED (EQ: ASTRO)

Sow Lush forage sorghum from October to January when soil temperature is consistently above 18°C (ideally 20–25°C) into good soil moisture. Drill at 8–12 kg/ha in rows 50–75 cm apart, or broadcast at 10–15 kg/ha, at a depth of 20–40 mm for optimal germination. Allow 6–8 weeks of vigorous growth until plants reach 60–80 cm tall before first grazing; never graze younger plants due to dangerous prussic acid (HCN) levels that can rapidly poison livestock. Continue rotational grazing through summer and autumn until the first frost ends the season. Tips: Lush sorghum is the highest-yielding summer annual forage crop for SE and central Queensland and will produce multiple grazings if managed correctly. Always ensure stock have access to other roughage to prevent bloat from the high-moisture feed. After frost or drought stress, wait a minimum of 5–7 days before grazing regrowth. The treated seed (Thiram filmcoat) protects against seedling disease and is recommended for best establishment.
