A BMR Brachytic-Dwarf Haygrazer Built for Performance

ADV S6404 Sorghum Sudangrass features the brachytic-dwarf trait, which shortens internode length while maintaining strong forage production. The result is a shorter plant with a higher leaf-to-stem ratio, excellent standability, and impressive forage yield potential.

Unlike many tall forage hybrids that can be difficult to manage in windy conditions, ADV S6404 maintains a stout plant structure while still producing excellent tonnage.
