PRO-TON is a mix of brown mid-rib sorghum sudangrass, forage soybeans and forage peas.

PRO-TON Summer Forage Mix is an excellent yielding summer forage.  It is an annual crop.  Our quality dry stalk variety decreases drying time.  Research at Texas A & M shows yield comparable to corn silage on 45% less irrigated water.  Input costs are lower, as solid seeding eliminates need for weed control.

Replaces corn for silage.

Seeding rate: 100# - 125# per acre. Plant no-till or conventional.  If planting no-till a burn down should be used to ensure good emergence.

Seed depth: 1/2" - 1"   Drill on soybean setting.  PRO-TON can be seeded with a broadcaster as long as you cultipack it to ensure good soil to seed contact.  However, broadcasting of the different size seeds makes it difficult to ensure a uniform stand.

PRO-TON Summer Forage works well when planted no-till after harvesting Trical® Triticale Forage in Spring, or double crop after wheat.

Fertilizer Requirements: 60# - 80# per acre available N.P.K.

Field peas and soybeans will supplement nitrogen requirements.

Weed Control: PRO-TON Summer Forage Mix rapid growth, eliminates need for weed control.

Harvest:PRO-TON Summer Forage Mix is ready to cut 40-55 days after planting, regrowth is ready to cut 30-35 days.  When you notice the peas and soybeans starting to flower is a good sign to cut it.

     PRO-TON Summer Forage Mix can be harvested as forage and silage bales.  PRO-TON planted in late may can provide a good 2nd cutting as well and has the potential of producing 15-20 tons at 50% dry matter.

     PRO-TON planted after wheat in mid-July normally yields around 11-13 tons per acre at 50% dry matter.
