Resilient. Productive. Wildlife-friendly.
Treated Milo Grain Sorghum is a warm-season annual crop prized for its drought resistance, versatility, and high-energy yield. Ideal for dryland farming, livestock feed, erosion control, and wildlife food plots, this hardy grain performs reliably even in poor soils and challenging climates.
🌟 Treated for Success: Each seed is coated for improved germination, early vigor, and pest resistance, ensuring a strong start in both conventional and conservation systems.
🧬 Why Is This Seed Treated?
Treated Milo Grain Sorghum undergoes a protective treatment to help it thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. The seed coating includes:
-
Fungicide and/or insecticide layers to ward off early soil-borne pests and diseases
-
Growth-promoting additives that boost early root development and improve stand establishment
-
Enhanced resilience for better emergence in cool, compacted, or low-moisture soils
This means fewer losses, stronger stands, and faster early growth, especially critical in unpredictable weather or marginal soils.
