SEED CHARACTERISTICS

Sudangrass is a high-production annual warm-season grass seed with high purity and reliable germination rate. Seeds are plump, evenly graded, fully cleaned with low impurity rate and free of moldy or broken kernels. It features extremely strong heat resistance and drought tolerance, thriving vigorously in hot summer weather when cool-season pastures go dormant. The stalks grow rapidly with lush tender leaves, high crude protein and good palatability for cattle, sheep, goats and horses. It supports multiple mowing cycles within one growing season with powerful regrowth ability after cutting, greatly boosting annual forage yield. As a summer cover crop, dense aboveground biomass suppresses weed growth effectively, and deep fibrous root system loosens compacted soil. After being plowed down as green manure, it increases soil organic matter significantly. Besides fresh grazing, it is widely processed into hay bales and silage for winter feed reserves.

PLANTING METHOD

Sowing Time: Late spring to early summer is the optimal period, suitable growing temperature 20°C–35°C.

Soil Preparation: Deep tillage to break soil clods and remove weeds. It adapts to various well-drained soils, slightly fertile loam delivers the best performance; avoid long-term waterlogged depressions.

Sowing Method: Drill sowing or broadcast sowing are both available. Cover seeds with 1–2 cm fine topsoil and slightly compact for good seed-to-soil contact.

Water Management: Keep topsoil slightly moist during the germination phase; only irrigate appropriately under prolonged extreme drought after seedlings establish. Drain rainwater timely to prevent root rot.

Later Care: First cutting can be carried out when plant height reaches 80–100 cm, leave 10–15 cm stubble to ensure fast regrowth. Apply a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer after each harvest to promote tillering.
