• High yield potential.
• Bush type hybrid – high leaf density.
• Exceptional leaf disease package.
• Extremely uniform.
• Low water requirement.
• Tolerates high temperature and humidity.
• Tolerates frequent harvesting
Wonderleaf is a bush type hybrid pearl millet with high yield potential. It grows quickly, reaching the boot stage in 62 days. Wonderleaf has a high level of tolerance to many pathogens and high humidity, but cannot tolerate standing surface water. Wonderleaf can be grown on as little as 16 inches of water, however greater tonnage will be produced with greater water availability.
• Wonderleaf is usually harvested 62–65 days after seeding.
• Protein will not decline as harvest is delayed due to the extremely high leaf to stem ratio.
• Cut at pre-boot stage to maximize protein content. Can obtain levels as high as 21% with proper management.
• General rule for best quality to cut for hay at 30 to 33".
• Photosynthetic Type: Warm Season.
• Soil Temperature: Very Warm (65° F).
• Water Requirement: Very Low.
