With extremely rapid growth, browntop millet can fill narrow growing windows to produce a nice quality forage. This millet is a tropical plant and particularly suited for the southern US states. Very fine stems and leaves allows plant material to dry down effectively for dry hay production. Because it holds it's nutritive value better than other millets this is a great option for a stockpile grazing mix. Browntop millet is also an effective nurse crop, much like oats, in stabilizing erosive hill slopes and providing cover for slower growing target species to become established. Research has shown browntop helps to suppress root-knot nematode within the soil. With the ability to easily reseed and that seed to remain viable in the soil profile for years, makes browntop millet an excellent regenerating food plot for wildlife.
