SSA Leafy Pearl Millet is a bushy-type hybrid pearl millet with high yield potential, which is achieved very quickly, being only 63 days to the boot stage. It has a high level of tolerance to many pathogens and high humidity, but cannot tolerate standing surface water. It can be grown on as little as 16 inches of water; however, greater tonnage will be produced with greater water availability. The bushy-type plant stature means that the forage produced is virtually all leaves. This greater leaf mass gives SSA Leafy Pearl Millet high crude protein concentrations and high TDN values. Seed at 20-25 lbs. per acre.
