Summer Crops
BMR Fuel
A new, quick establishing, earlier maturing sorghum x sudan hybrid containing the BMR gene. BMR Fuel is quick to first grazing with good digestibility and excellent regrowth. Suited to intensive grazing systems and silage production.
Sowing rate:
Dryland (300mm-450mm): 12-15 kg/ha
High rainfall (650mm+) 20-25 kg/ha
Irrigation (800mm+): 25-30 kg/ha
- 300mm+
Dolichos (Lab Lab)
High quality forage
Suits wide range of soil types, tolerant of cool temperatures
Drought tolerant once established

Soil type: Sandy to heavy clay
Sowing rate: 15-20kg/ha
- 650mm+
FeedEx
A new sudan type hybrid showing excellent early vigor for farmers wanting quick, high quality feed for grazing. FeedEx has fine stems and leaves which also makes it suitable for hay producers. If grazed early at approximately 0.8-1 metres, a second grazing would be possible given the right conditions. Economically priced FeedEx is also an option in low rainfall areas that are considered marginal for sorghum. If late spring rain occurs then FeedEx is one of the quickest varieties to reach grazing height.
Sowing rate:
Dryland (300-450mm): 4-6 kg/ha
Good Dryland (450-650mm): 6-10 kg/ha
High Rainfall (650+mm): 15-25 kg/ha
Irrigation (800+mm): 25 kg/ha

Z71-F1
Full maturity TENDERLEAFY™ silage hybrid developed in New Zealand by Corson Maize Seed
Very large plant with high grain yield and a sound agronomic package
Excellent yield performance in this maturity
Z71-F1 offers above average early growth developing into a tall, bulky plant with large ears as well as excellent staygreen which contributes to a wide harvest window. Corson F1 has a high grain content and above average whole plant digestibility.
Corson F1 is suitable for warmer regions where early planting is possible. It is ideally suited to contract silage production, targeting high yields and quality silage. Dairy farmers can take advantage of its performance by planting early on a run off.
