Intro
The 2022 Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Forage Sorghum Silage Trial consisted of 76 sorghum hybrids including forage sorghum (n=55), sorghum sudangrass (n=16), and grain sorghum (n=5) hybrids evaluated within a production forage sorghum field under center pivot irrigation. One millet hybrid was entered and compared to sorghum hybrids.
Two grain sorghum hybrids (DKS 37-07 and P84G62) serve as long-term grain production checks. Corn checks provide a direct comparison between the forage production potential in the same production environment. Evaluated hybrids were submitted by seed companies on a per fee basis except for the grain sorghum and corn hybrid checks.
