Agriculture Primefact
Primefact Number: 215    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Apr 2007

Your summer forage choices will depend on sowing time and feed quantity and quality requirements. Other factors such as soil type, drainage, weeds and disease may also need to be considered.

This Primefact includes information on several crops including forage sorghum, pennisetum, millet, lablab, cowpeas, soybeans, grain sorghum and maize.

The agronomy and management used can have a greater influence on the crop productivity than the variety chosen. Check with your local District Agronomist or advisor to confirm preferred varieties and management.
