Description
BMR Fuel Forage Sorghum is the perfect sorghum for silage and hay production. It offers high dry matter yields combined with the Brown Mid Rib (BMR) gene for lower lignin (indigestible fibre), therefore improving the overall quality of the crop. BMR Fuel is a better option than millet, where rotational grazing is an option due to its higher water use efficiency, making it more profitable per kilogram of dry matter produced.
- An early maturing BMR sorghum x sudan hybrid

What is BMR?
BMR, or Brown Mid Rib, signifies that plants possess lower lignin content in their leaves and stems. This characteristic enhances palatability, digestibility, and energy content, ultimately resulting in increased animal productivity.
