Product Information
Tifleaf 3 Hybrid Pearl Millet Seed is a high quality leafy Pearl Millet developed by USDA-ARS at Tifton, GA. It shows more resistance to rust, one of the two major diseases on Pearl Millet in the United States, than Tifleaf 2.
Tifleaf 3 matures later than most tall hybrids and will reach a height of about six feet, if not defoliated. Heifers grazing Tifleaf 3 gained 412 lbs per acre compared to 345 lbs per acre for Tifleaf 2. Higher yields can be expected from Tifleaf 3 compared to Tifleaf 2, when there is moderate rust infection, and from later plantings.
This variety features high forage quality, no prussic acid production, and is very drought tolerant.
This seed is treated with fungicide and insecticide, which is standard with all Hybrid Pearl Millets unless stated otherwise.
