Soil temperature MUST BE AT LEAST 60º+ !!!!!!!!!!! before planting.
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.
Seed depth: 1/2" - 1"
Drill on soybean setting
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 ready to cut 30-35 days.
PRO-TON Summer Forage Mix can be harvested as forage and silage bales.
Wondering what happens to PRO-TON Summer Forage when it frosts!!!!!! We have been advised by University Professors that we should not graze or green chop it for 10 days after a frost. If you are ensiling it in any way ie: baylage, silos, or bags, there is no problem because the ensiling process will take care of any prussic acid.
