Vigor SS is a new improved premium forage product selected for its high productivity, exceptional sweetness and improved forage quality. The leaves of Vigor SS tend to be wider and longer than most conventional sorghum-sudans on the market. The stems are sweet, very juicy and highly nutritious. This combination promotes greater intake, improved digestibility and increased animal performance in beef and dairy cows. Vigor SS has exceptional heat and drought stress tolerance, very fast re-growth after cutting and improved plant health and disease tolerance for optimum forage production in a standard product. Small-seeded and thin-stemmed.
