www.farmsciencegenetics.com 40 FSG 114 BMR6 HYBRID FORAGE SORGHUM  • Significantly lower stem lignin concentration • Improved digestibility & palatability equals milk production of rations with corn • Requires 1/3 less water than corn for same production • Male sterile hybrid • Dry stalk gene improves harvest timing • 85 day maturity FSG 114 BMR6 is a brown midrib, male sterile hybrid forage sorghum. Because the lignin content of the stalk has been dramatically reduced, digestibility improves by 35% over conventional forage sorghums. FSG 114 BMR6 forage sorghum, with this improvement in digestibility and palatability, can equal the milk production of rations with corn. Plant at the recommended rates for your area and harvest timely for optimum yield and quality. The water requirement for FSG 114 BMR6 is 1/3 less than would be required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. Because FSG 114 BMR6 is a male sterile hybrid, volunteer growth is not an issue provided there is adequate isolation from pollen fertile sorghums. FSG 115 BRACHYTIC DWARF BMR6 HYBRID FORAGE SORGHUM  • Dwarfing gene increases leaf to stem ratio and provides superior standability • Significantly lower stem lignin concentration • Improved digestibility & palatability equals milk production of rations with corn • Requires 1/3 less water than corn for same production • Grain producing hybrid • 95 day maturity for northern states and 110 day maturity for transistion states FSG 115 is a brachytic dwarf, brown midrib, grain producing hybrid forage sorghum. Because the lignin content of the stalk has been dramatically reduced, IVDMD is 40% greater than conventional forage sorghums. FSG 115 with this improvement in digestibility and palatability, can equal the milk production of rations with corn with a water requirement 1/3 less than would be required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. Because FSG 115 is a grain producing hybrid, energy will increase as carbohydrates form in the grain head.
