www.farmsciencegenetics.com 43 FSG 300 HYRBID PEARL MILLET  • Bushy type hybrid with high yield potential • Widely adapted to many diverse geographic regions • No Prussic Acid concerns FSG 300 is a bushy type hybrid pearl millet with high yield potential which is achieved very quickly needing only 63 days to reach the boot stage. FSG 300 has a high level of tolerance to many pathogens and high humidity, but cannot tolerate standing surface water. FSG 300 can be grown on as little as 16 inches of water, however, greater tonnage will be produced with greater water availability. FSG 300’s bushy type plant stature means that the forage produced is virtually all leaves. This greater leaf mass gives FSG 300 high crude protein concentrations and high TDN values. • BMR gene technology reduces plant lignin content versus conventional hybrid pearl millets, which results in a highly digestible forage with improved nutritional quality • Extensive tillering capacity • High yield potential • Dwarfing gene increases the leaf to stem ratio, improves standability and allows heavier grazing pressure • Adapted to a wide soil pH range • No Prussic Acid concerns FSG 315 is a new concept in hybrid pearl millets with BMR and Dwarfing gene technology. The BMR gene reduces plant lignin versus conventional pearl millets resulting in a highly digestible forage with improved nutritional quality for superior animal performance. The Dwarfing gene increases the leaf to stem ratio for higher forage quality, improves standability in the field and allows heavier grazing pressure with its extensive tillering. With high yield and quality potential, an excellent disease resistance package, drought stress tolerance and rapid growth, FSG 315 is ideal for the grower who wants the flexibility of grazing, hay or silage.
