Management Notes:
FS-ONE is a medium-early maturity forage sorghum hybrid with juicy, sweet stalks.
Adaptable for both irrigated and dryland production, FS-ONE was developed to serve as a
higher yielding replacement for hegari, redtop cane, and other sweet sorghums. FS-ONE is
an excellent hybrid for a wide range of uses.
