    MANAGEMENT:

    Considerations:

    Sorghum x Sudangrass presents the opportunity for prussic acid toxicity, especially after fall frosts. Nitrogen applications are highly recommended if the goal is to maximize forage production; however, those same fertility supplements can pose an increased threat of elevated nitrates in sorghum x sudangrass after plants are stressed.

    Termination:

    A frost will terminate sorghum x sudangrass, millet, sunflowers, cowpeas, and sunn hemp. Brassica species will terminate with multiple nights in the teens. If any brassicas overwinter, glyphosate and 2,4-D provide adequate control.
