PENNISETUM GLAUCUM

Pearl Millet (treated)

Pearl Millet (treated)

Pearl millet is warm season grass commonly grown for forage, wildlife, or as a cover crop. It can reach heights of 3 to 5 feet tall under ideal conditions. This multi cut forage grass is preferred over other millets for hay, pasture and silage production because it is highly digestible, high in protein, and free of prussic acid. Pearl millet also makes excellent cover and feed for birds, deer, and other wildlife. Lastly, pearl millet is a great green manure crop for hot summer months. This crop requires warm growing conditions and should not be planted until soil temperatures reach 65 degrees Fahrenheit or above. This product is treated; do not use for food, feed, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds or other foodstuffs.
