Leafy TR7 Hybrid Pearl Millet Seed | Thiram-Treated
Treated with Signet® 480 FS (Thiram), this seed treatment forms a protective coating around the seed at planting, helping safeguard emerging seedlings during the critical establishment phase. The treatment supports improved germination success, stronger early-season growth, enhanced seedling vigor, and more uniform stand development.
Leafy TR7 Hybrid Pearl Millet Seed is a high-performing warm-season annual forage developed for livestock producers seeking rapid establishment, excellent forage quality, and dependable summer production. This hybrid pearl millet is known for producing dense, leafy growth with strong digestibility and impressive dry matter yields, making it an excellent option for grazing systems, hay production, silage, and emergency forage applications.
Leafy TR7 matures quickly, typically reaching the boot stage in approximately 55–60 days under favorable growing conditions. Its moderate plant height of approximately 5–6 feet promotes a high leaf-to-stem ratio, producing softer, more palatable forage with elevated protein potential and excellent total digestible nutrient (TDN) levels. The heavy leaf production helps improve forage intake while reducing coarse stem material commonly found in other summer annual grasses.
This hybrid pearl millet performs exceptionally well in hot and humid environments and demonstrates strong tolerance to several common forage diseases. Leafy TR7 also recovers rapidly after grazing or cutting, allowing for multiple harvest opportunities and extended grazing potential throughout the growing season.
Unlike many sorghum-based forage crops, pearl millet does not present prussic acid concerns, making Leafy TR7 a safer choice for grazing livestock during active growth periods and regrowth stages.
