48s
Pearl Millet is a warm-season annual grass commonly used for grazing as well as hay and silage production. Pearl Millet is desirable as forage due to its high leaf to stem ratio and high yield potential. It can reach heights of over 6’ tall at full maturity, making it more comparable to sorghum-sudangrass than to other common hay millets. Pearl Millet will regrow following cutting or grazing and can be used in a multi-harvest scenario. Pearl Millet is drought hardy and grows well in light or sandy soils. It is moderately tolerant of saline soils but will not survive in standing water.
