3 Mil X II is bushy type hybrid pearl millet with high yield potential which is achieved very quickly being only 63 days to the boot stage. 3 Mil X II has a high level of tolerance to many pathogens and high humidity, but cannot tolerate standing surface water. 3 Mil X II can be grown on as little as 16 inches of water, however greater tonnage will be produced with greater water availability.
3 Mil X II’s bushy type plant stature means that the forage produced is virtually all leaves. This high leaf mass gives 3 Mil X II high crude protein concentrations and high TDN values.
