{"product_id":"piper-sudangrass","title":"Piper Sudangrass","description":"\u003ci\u003eSorghum bicolor\u003c\/i\u003e ssp. \u003ci\u003eDrummondii\u003c\/i\u003e This fast-growing, very vigorous, warm-season grass produces an enormous amount of biomass, loosens hard soil, and suppresses weeds. Reaching heights up to 7 feet tall, this prolific grass can be grown as a green manure and as a natural weed-suppressing mulch when cut and laid down. Piper Sudangrass is drought resistant and prized for its rapid growth. A valuable forage crop, it can be grazed, cut for a fine hay or made into silage. When mown down to 6-8 inches, it can be cut several times in one season to produce multiple crops of hay. This variety has been used as a natural soil fumigant by tilling it into the soil immediately after cutting or frost-kill. The decomposing grass releases compounds that are toxic to nematodes, especially root-knot nematodes, reducing their populations in the soil. It is therefore valuable for both intercropping and crop rotation. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: Piper Sudangrass contains low amounts of prussic acid, a compound that can be toxic to animals and should be grazed only when it is taller than 18 inches and never after a frost. It is also not suitable to use as feed for horses. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeeding rate: 1-2 pounds per 1000 square feet; 30-50 pounds per acre.","brand":"Territorial Seed","offers":[{"title":"SEED \/ 1 pound","offer_id":28428018647139,"sku":"WW4450\/E","price":9.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SEED \/ 5 pounds","offer_id":28428018679907,"sku":"WW4450\/G","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4989\/files\/WW4450_2.jpg?v=1772502662","url":"https:\/\/territorialseed.mom\/products\/piper-sudangrass","provider":"Territorial Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
