Pearl

Pearl Forage Sorghum Pearl forage sorghum is high quality, large seeded, white mid rib forage sorghum with special nutritional grain qualities and superior agronomics. Pearl is a medium maturity variety that will reach soft dough stage 95-105 and reach about 6-8 feet in height. The standability throughout the season is excellent. Special nutritional features: The higher protein white grain of Pearl is nearly twice the size of normal forage sorghum grain and makes a softer grain that can be kernel processed. The combination of a kernel that softens during fermentation and the ability to kernel process increases the harvest window significantly. In addition, the crop can be allowed to mature in the field to moisture levels that allow vertical silo storage without seepage. Agronomic features: Pearl was also bred for strong sugarcane aphid tolerance and excellent foliar disease tolerance, making it a strong contender in climates with heavy aphid pressure. Pearl has strong seedling vigor and like most forage sorghums, has strong drought tolerance throughout the growing season making it ideal for acreage that corn is less reliable.
