Variety traits
Sorghum x drummondii (Steud.) Millsp. & Chase
The dry matter content in sudangrass is a key indicator of productivity and forage quality, determining harvesting phases and the nutritional value of the biomass.
In the reference 21 varieties crop Sudangrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The dry matter content in the fresh mass of sudangrass is usually 13–17%, with a figure of about 15% being considered optimal for the start of grazing. The most intensive accumulation of dry matter occurs during the period from the heading phase to the milk stage; furthermore, a wide-row sowing method with 70 cm row spacing contributes to its higher content by the end of the growing season compared to drill sowing.
Dry matter content determines the preservation technology and the nutritional value of the forage. The early heading phase is considered the optimal time for harvesting for hay, silage, or haylage, as a balance between dry matter yield and nutrient concentration is achieved. The crop's ability to efficiently accumulate dry matter with minimal moisture input is a breeding trait characterizing the plant's high drought tolerance.
