Tillering — Sudan grass

Sorghum x drummondii (Steud.) Millsp. & Chase

Tillering in Sudan grass is a key element of productivity, determining biomass formation and forage quality through the number of tillers per plant.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Sudangrass, where this is mentioned in the description.

Tillering of Sudan grass is measured by the number of tillers per plant and is assessed at the panicle emergence stage. According to the international descriptor for the genus Sorghum, varieties are classified as low-tillering (up to 12 tillers), medium-tillering (12–25 tillers), and high-tillering (more than 25 tillers).

This trait is positively correlated with green mass yield and crude protein content. High tillering capacity ensures rapid regrowth of the crop after mowing, which allows for multiple cuts per season. The level of tillering depends on the genotype, the sum of active temperatures, and the plant growing area, increasing with wide-row sowing patterns.

General information about the subject — on the page Tillering.
