SUDAN GRASS 
Sorghums for Grazing 
SUDAN GRASS, 
An annual, drought-resistant, quick growing and very nutritious sorghum for pas- 
ture and hay, introduced from Africa in 1909 by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Sudan has now become the most valuable and widely distributed and adaptable of 
all the summer annual grass crops used for green grazing in the central and south- 
ern states. Grows well on almost any soil, except deep sand in high rainfall belts. 
May be planted several times during the long southern growing season to provide 
continuous green succulent growth. Readily grazed by all classes of livestock and 
ready to pasture in 4-6 weeks after planting when it has attained a height of 2-3 feet. 
Frequently used to plow under as a green manure crop. Finds a place as a soil- 
control crop to afford protection from wind and water erosion. Plants grow 5 to 6 
feet tall, erect, with numerous, fine, leafy, stems. Root system fine, fibrous, spreading. 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS, 
A new and distinct grass sorghum developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment 
Station through crossing Sudan grass and Leoti sorgo and repeatedly back-crossing 
to the Sudan grass parent. Sweet and juicy stalk, non-shattering seed habit, a distinct 
sienna colored seed and disease resistance have been transferred from the sorgo to 
the new grass sorghum through plant breeding. Resembling common Sudan in plant 
habit, Sweet Sudan is a little later in maturity, more vigorous growing and a higher 
yielder of both forage and seed. The plants are sweet and juicy, more resistant to 
foliage diseases and chinch bugs than common Sudan, and remain green and grow- 
ing later in the summer and fall. Bright reddish seed hulls readily distinguish the 
variety from common Sudan, livestock prefer Sweet Sudan to common Sudan, the 
grazing period of the pasture is extended and the coarse stems are eaten readily.
