Key Advantages Feature Benefit Yellow Jacket® Coated Seed Promotes improved moisture retention and establishment Impact Genetics Included Later maturity extends grazing opportunities High-Quality Summer Feed Produces highly digestible, nutrient-rich forage Quick Drought Recovery Recovers rapidly following heat and moisture stress Widely Adapted Performs across diverse climates and soil types Easy to Establish Fast germination and vigorous seedling growth Excellent Yield Potential Generates abundant forage for grazing or hay Strong Reseeding Ability Supports stand persistence under proper management Improved Genetics with Impact Crabgrass Mojo now incorporates Impact crabgrass, an advanced cultivar developed by the Noble Research Institute. Impact was selected for its ability to provide extended forage production while maintaining excellent feed quality throughout the grazing season. Impact Performance Benefits Characteristic Advantage Later Maturity Approximately 14 days later than traditional Red River varieties Extended Grazing Window Keeps quality forage available longer Improved Nutritional Value Supports livestock growth and performance Strong Seasonal Production Maintains forage quality later into summer Natural Reseeding Potential Encourages long-term pasture productivity The addition of Impact helps producers maximize grazing days while reducing dependence on supplemental feeding during peak summer conditions. Exceptional Forage Quality Mojo is recognized for producing highly palatable forage that cattle readily consume. Its combination of digestibility and protein content makes it a valuable feed source throughout the growing season. Typical Crude Protein Levels Growth Stage Crude Protein Early Growth 25%–30% Mid-Season 15%–20% Late Season Approximately 10% Mojo can also achieve digestibility levels approaching 73% NDFD under proper management, making it an excellent option for beef cattle, dairy operations, and stocker programs. Drought Resilience and Rapid Recovery Summer weather can place significant stress on forage systems. Mojo's vigorous growth habit and aggressive stolon development allow it to recover quickly following grazing pressure, drought periods, or mowing. This rapid regrowth capability helps maintain forage availability throughout the season and supports intensive rotational grazing systems. Adapted Across a Wide Geographic Range Mojo performs successfully throughout much of the United States, from the Great Plains to the Gulf Coast and Atlantic regions. Recommended Uses Beef cattle grazing systems Dairy forage programs Rotational grazing operations Summer pasture supplementation Hay production Pasture renovation projects Emergency forage plantings Its adaptability allows producers in a wide range of environments to benefit from dependable summer forage production. Planting Recommendations Seeding Rates Application Recommended Rate Drilled 3–5 lbs. per acre Broadcast 5–7 lbs. per acre Overseeding Existing Pastures 5–7 lbs. per acre Establishment Guidelines Factor Recommendation Soil Temperature Minimum 50°F Planting Depth 1/8"–1/4" Seedbed Firm and well prepared Sunlight Full Sun Soil pH 5.5–7.0 preferred Because crabgrass seed is small, shallow planting is essential for successful germination and stand establishment. Spring Establishment Program Prepare a smooth, firm seedbed through disking and harrowing. Plant when soil temperatures consistently exceed 50°F. Use a drill or seeder equipped for small seed. Apply 50–100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre after stolons begin developing. Begin grazing when forage reaches 6–8 inches in height. Fall Small-Grain Companion System Mojo can also be established following winter annual forage programs. Seed rye, wheat, or triticale in the fall. Broadcast Mojo seed and fertilizer during spring. Graze the winter annual forage. Apply 50–100 lbs. nitrogen per acre. Begin rotational grazing once crabgrass reaches 6–8 inches. This approach allows producers to maximize seasonal forage production from a single field. Fertility Management Nitrogen Recommendations Timing Rate Initial Application 50–100 lbs. N per acre Additional Applications Based on rainfall and forage demand Proper fertility management can significantly improve both yield and forage quality.
