Cutting Sudan Grass At Optimal Head Stage
The text states the best time to cut Sudan grass is just as it begins to head out. If cut at the soft dough seed stage only one cutting yields maximum forage, while earlier cuts give more cuts but with smaller yields. Sudan grass tolerates late cutting due to multiple tillers producing immature stalks through the season.
