Yields calculated at 14% moisture.

CV = 11.5% and df for EMS = 84.
The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD
value was not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's
protected LSD (P = 0.10).

Soil Type:
Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test:
P = Medium, K = Low, and pH = 6.5.
Fertilization:
Preplant: 40 lb N, 80 lb P2O5, and 120 lb K2O/acre. Sidedress: 50 lb N/acre.
Previous Crop:
Wheat.
Management:
Subsoiled and bedded; rototilled; Atrazine, Prowl, and 2 cultivations used for
weed control; Chlorpyrifos and Karate used for insect control.

Tifton, Georgia:
Late-Planted Grain Sorghum Hybrid Performance, 2004
Nonirrigated
Grain sorghum hybrids were late-planted at this location on June 18, 2004.
However, extensive damage from three major tropical storms (hurricanes
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne) caused lodging, seed sprouting in the head,
and very low yields; thus considerable variation in performance among
hybrids 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.

CV = 18.3% and df for EMS = 72.
The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was
not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected
LSD (P = 0.10).

Late-Planted Grain Sorghum Hybrid Performance, 2004, Irrigated
Grain sorghum hybrids were late-planted at this location on July 7, 2004.
However, extensive damage from three major tropical storms (hurricanes
Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne) caused lodging, seed sprouting in the head,
and very low yields; thus considerable variation in performance among
hybrids 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.
