Establishment:
Soil temperature should be a least 60 degrees F. Can be no-tilled into the stubble of winter and spring crops. Do not plant in soils with pH greater tahn 7.5-8.0. Chlorosis can be a severe problem.
Fertilization:
Apply 40-80 units of nitrogen/acre at seeding; 50 units of nitrogen/acre after first cutting to reach maximum production.

Seeding Rate:
Dryland: 10-25 lbs./acre. Seeds per square foot: 4-9
Irrigated: 25-60 lbs./acre. Seeds per square foot: 9-22
Seeding Depth:
Planting depth should be 1"
Harvest:
Harvest 62-70 days after seeding. Protein will decline as harvest is delayed, but energy will increase upon heading due to continued sugar production.
