PERFORMANCE OF GRAIN SORGHUM HYBRIDS IN ALABAMA, 19821
INTRODUCTION
Grain sorghum performance tests are conducted annually throughout
Alabama by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. These tests
give a comparison of hybrid 
performance under the conditions 
at a
particular location. The locations used represent major soil and
climatic areas of the State. The performance of hybrids varies with
location. Therefore, this report should be carefully studied before a
hybrid is selected.
At Belle Mina bird damage was severe. In this test, the bird-resis-
tant hybrids showed no damage, while the non bird-resistant hybrids
showed bird damage which ranged from 7-75 percent of yield. Bird damage
can be a problem in small fields. In selecting a hybrid, consideration
should be given to bird populations; if damage is anticipated, bird-
resistant hybrids should be used. Bird-resistant grain sorghum hybrids
are sometimes difficult to market and may have lower feed value than the
non bird-resistant hybrids.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Cultural practices were uniform for all hybrids within a given
test. The experimental design for all tests was a randomized complete
block with four replications. The target plant population was 50,000
plants per acre, with a seeding rate 25 percent higher to ensure a good
stand. Test cultural practices are listed in table 1.
Organized and compiled by Cliff Currier, W. C. Johnson, and
Darrell Williams.
-1-
Grain yields were obtained by harvesting the whole test plot,
either by hand or plot combine, and adjusting harvested grain weight and
moisture to a standard 14 percent moisture and 56 pounds per bushel.
Lodging is given as the percentage of plants broken or leaning at
an angle of more than 45 degrees. The seed heads of lodged plants were
not included in the yields reported.
Days to mid-bloom is one measure of relative maturity. This is
taken as days from planting to the date when approximately one-half of
the heads in the plot are in bloom.
A ratoon, or stubble, crop was harvested at Prattville and
Headland. The first harvest was combined and the stalks were cut to a
6-inch height. An additional 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre was
sidedressed to the 6-inch stubble. The ratoon crop yield reported
should be added to 1982 yield to calculate total yield.
The preliminary grain sorghum hybrid test is used to evaluate 
new
hybrids and experimental lines. If a new variety does well in the
preliminary test, it is planted in the regular test the next year.
Bird-resistant grain sorghum hybrids are used for specific reasons,
thus a separate test was planted at Prattville comparing only these
types. The results are in table 12.
VARIETY COMPARISONS
The performance of hybrids varies among years and locations. Small
yield differences among hybrids may be the result of slight environ-
mental or cultural differences rather than differences in yield poten-
tial among varieties. To aid in determining real differences, a statis-
tical analysis of variance was performed on the data from each
-2-
location. The L.S.D. (least significant difference) is reported to help
determine real differences between hybrid yields for each location in
1982. If the yield difference is greater than the L.S.D. value between
two hybrids at a given location, the two hybrids are considered to be
significantly different in yield. The C.V. (coefficient of variation)
is a measure of test variability. An increase in its value indicates a
decrease in the precision of the test data.
The list of acceptable hybrids is based on 3-year average grain
yield and lodging data. The list is divided into three regions, north,
central, and south. Since all acceptable hybrids are not equal in
performance, a review of the data from several years at the test lo-
cation most similar to your situation is the most reliable method for
selecting a hybrid best suited for your farming needs.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The performance trials were conducted in cooperation with the
following substation and experiment field superintendents and their
staffs whose quality work makes this report a reliable source of infor-
mation for farmers in their areas.
