Late-Planted Grain Sorghum Hybrid Performance, 2010
Nonirrigated
Grain sorghum varieties were planted at this location on June 15, 2010. However,
extensive damage from high temperatures and drought caused very low yields and
considerable variation in performance amoung plots within the test. After careful
analysis and review of this data, it is the opinion of the editors that the results of
this trial may not accurately reflect the performance potential of all test entries.
Since this data could be misleading if used in making decisions concerning
variety selection, we have chosen not to present them in this publication.
