2001 KANSAS GRAIN SORGHUM
PERFORMANCE TESTS
INTRODUCTION
TEST OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES
Sorghum Performance Tests, conducted annually
by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station,
provide farmers, extension workers, and private
research and sales personnel with unbiased
agronomic information on many of the sorghum
hybrids marketed in the state. Entry fees from
private seed companies help finance the tests.
Seed companies receive test announcements and
entry forms in late January each year; deadlines
for receipt of completed entry forms and seed are
in early March. Because entry selection and
location are voluntary, not all hybrids grown in the
state are included in tests, and hybrids are not
grown uniformly at all test locations.
Individual test discussions include summaries of
growing-season weather data for each location.
These data are from the nearest weatherreporting station and often are supplemented with
information from the test site.
Precipitation
graphs include cumulative lines for 2001 and the
30-year normal in addition to the daily rainfall
amounts since last fall. Temperature graphs
include
daily
maximum
and
minimum
temperatures compared with normal. Growing
degree graphs include cumulative lines for 2001
and normal. All graphs indicate planting, heading,
and harvest dates, if available. The graphs reveal
general trends in precipitation and temperature
compared to normal.
For more detailed
information, a table is included with monthly totals
and averages for the growing season.
Comparisons of the current year's weather with
long-time averages often help explain unusual
plant development patterns and inconsistent
performance of individual hybrids over years.
Beginning in 1999, seed-applied insecticide was
requested for each entry. Check hybrids were
included at each location with and without seedapplied insecticide to estimate the potential
advantage of the insecticide. The insecticide
tended to confer a slight yield benefit at most
locations, especially in the presence of earlyseason insect pests. Check the "INSECTICIDE
EFFECT" summary in the descriptive information
for each test.
Explanatory information is given preceding data
summaries for each test. Tables 1-21 contain
results from the grain sorghum performance test
locations. Hybrids are listed in order of increasing
days to half bloom and increasing grain moisture
for the current year, so hybrids of similar maturity
appear together. Yield summaries following each
group of tests (Tables 4, 8, 12, 16, 21) present
current-year yield as a percent of the average for
each location.
Figures 6-10 graphically summarize yield and
maturity information over the past 3 years for
each region. Hybrid performance is standardized
using the average of three check hybrids present
in every test (C305, RS610, and TX2752xTX430).
The number beside each bar shows the number
of tests where a given hybrid was compared with
the check hybrids. In general, the greater the
number of comparisons, the greater confidence
one can place in the stated performance of that
hybrid. Symbols beside the bar indicate if a hybrid
was significantly greater (+) or lower (-) than the
average of the check hybrids. No symbol means
no difference. As with individual test results,
small differences should not be overemphasized.
Relative ranking and large differences are better
indicators of hybrid performance.
Grain from tan-plant hybrids is desirable for
human food consumption and poultry feed. This
year, five locations of a regional study to evaluate
available tan-plant hybrids were planted in
Kansas. Results are presented in Tables 22 - 27.
The appendices present additional information for
each hybrid.
Appendix 1 includes contact
information for companies that entered hybrids in
the tests. Appendix 2 lists descriptive information
provided by the entrants for each hybrid.
Appendix 3 presents the results of iron chlorosis

and sooty stripe screening conducted for all
hybrids in 2001.
Most tests are planted at a rate 30% to 40%
above the desired population and only minimally
thinned.
Planting to stand includes hybrid
differences in stand establishment and earlyseason vigor in the overall performance
evaluation. These differences may or may not be
genetically controlled but contribute to marketed
product performance in either case. Therefore,
they are included in performance comparisons.
Tractor-powered, modified, air-planters were used
for nearly all tests.
Three or four plots
(replications) of each hybrid were grown at each
location in a randomized complete block design.
Each harvested plot consisted of two rows
trimmed to a specific length ranging from 20 to 30
feet at the different locations. Agronomists used
specialized plot combines equipped with
automatic weighing and sampling devices to
harvest most tests.
Results for each grain sorghum test include
GRAIN YIELDS reported as bushels per acre of
shelled grain (56 lbs/bu) adjusted to a moisture
content of 12.5%. BUSHEL YIELDS also are
converted to YIELDS AS PERCENTAGES OF
THE TEST AVERAGE to speed recognition of
highest-yielding hybrids (more than 100%, the test
average). The actual test average in bushels per
acre is listed as the test average in the YIELD AS
% OF TEST AVERAGE columns as a guide to
actual yields. Hybrids yielding more than 100% of
the test average year after year merit
consideration, but adaptation to individual farms
for appropriate maturity, stalk strength, and other
factors also must be considered.
When appropriate, tables include the number of
LODGED stalks. Both broken stalks and stalks
leaning more than 45 degrees from vertical were
considered LODGED, although most were
harvestable with modern machinery.
Two characteristics contributed to estimations of
relative maturity at most locations. DAYS FROM
PLANTING TO HALF BLOOM is the number of
days between planting and the date when half of
the heads of a given hybrid have roughly half of
the florets in bloom. GRAIN MOISTURE at
harvest also may help categorize hybrids for
relative maturity, when harvest is early enough to
provide a range in moisture contents among
entries. Entries are listed in order of increasing
maturity based on days to half bloom and harvest
moisture in the current year to facilitate
comparison of hybrids of like maturity. Maturity
can be critical when considering a sorghum hybrid
for a specific cropping system.
The GROWTH UNIT or GROWING DEGREE
DAY concept was developed to measure the
amount of heat available for growth and
maturation. The formula used to generate the
monthly totals in individual test discussions
follows. Take the maximum temperature plus the
minimum temperature for each day, divide by 2,
and then subtract a base temperature of about 34
(actually 1° C was used in the calculations). The
purpose is to describe temperatures for the
season for comparison with previous years and
other locations in explaining relative rates of plant
development. Research by Dr. Richard Vanderlip
and his students at Kansas State University has
indicated an excellent relationship between the
growth units generated by these calculations and
the actual rate of plant development from
blooming to physiological maturity. Growth unit
accumulations for the current year are compared
with the long-term 'normal' for each test.
Small differences in yield or other characteristics
should not be overemphasized. Least significant
differences (LSD's) are shown at the bottom of
each table. Unless two entries differ by at least
the LSD shown, little confidence can be placed in
one being superior to the other in that
characteristic. The coefficient of variability (CV)
can be used to estimate the degree of confidence
one may have in published data from replicated
tests. For yield estimates in this testing program,
CV's below 10% generally indicate reliable,
uniform data, whereas CV's of 10 to 15% are not
uncommon and usually indicate that data are
acceptable
for
the
rough
performance
comparisons desired from these tests. Tests with
CV's over 15% still may be useful, but hybrid
comparisons lack precision.

Planting began well ahead of the 5-year average
but at a pace similar to last year's (Figure 4).
Heavy rains and relatively cool temperatures in
late May and early June slowed planting so that it
finished at about the normal time (Figures 1 and
2). The early planting of much of the crop
accompanied by warm temperatures in late June
and July allowed the crop to head and color at
close to last year's early pace. Except for one
week in the middle of August, at least one
reporting station in Kansas recorded weekly high
temperatures at or above 100° F for a period of 13
weeks from mid-June until mid-September (Figure
2). Significant rains over much of the state in late
July and early August dropped the percentage of
crop acreage characterized as short or very short

of topsoil moisture from roughly 70% to 45%.
This appeared to be enough to carry much of the
crop to harvest that otherwise might have
experienced severe drought stress.
Harvest
started very early in southeast Kansas, but did not
progress as rapidly as last year statewide.
The condition of the crop declined sharply during
June and early July but held steady thereafter
(Figure 3). Nearly 80% of the crop was in good to
excellent condition in early June, but roughly 45%
was in those categories by mid-July.
The
percentage of the crop in the good or excellent
categories varied between 40% and 45% for the
rest of the season.
(From Crop-Weather reports, Kansas Agricultural
Statistics, Topeka)
Insect Summary
A range of insects attacked the sorghum crop in
2001. In May, the southern corn billbug damaged
a field in Reno County. The field was infested
with yellow nutsedge, the natural host for this
insect. Greenbugs began to appear in early June.
Populations continued to increase through July,
especially in irrigated fields or in northeast
Kansas where rainfall was more abundant. In
some instances severe damage was sustained.
Greenbugs struggled to survive in moisture
stressed fields. By early August this pest was no
longer much of a concern, particularly in areas
receiving little rain. False chinch bugs appeared
in May in southeast Kansas. In some places
nymph infestations of this pest overwhelmed
young sorghum plants on a field scale. Later in
the season, adult infestations swarmed over
sorghum heads in localized areas within fields.
Typically these infestations did not require control
measures. True chinch bugs were present as

well, but did not appear to cause above-average
concern this year. Corn leaf aphids caused some
concern in far south central Kansas but only in a
localized area. Some irrigated fields had severe
infestations of Banks grass mite or two-spotted
spider mite. An emergency crisis exemption for
Capture insecticide was granted for control of
these pests in seed production fields.
(From Kansas Insect Newsletter, Extension
Entomology, Kansas State University and Kansas
Cooperative Economic Insect Survey reports,
Kansas Department of Agriculture.)
Disease Summary
Early in the year a number of fields exhibited
symptoms of 'rootless sorghum syndrome'.
These fields had retarded brace root development
and were particularly susceptible to lodging later
in the season. In late June the diagnostic lab
received samples from southeast Kansas with
high levels of sooty stripe, unusual for so early in
the season. Dry weather during most of the
remaining season appeared to minimize the
impact from this disease. Numerous instances of
crazy top downy mildew infections were reported
this year. These infections were likely related to
the wet conditions experienced in many areas in
late May and early June. Late in the season
many sorghum fields suffered significant lodging
related to stalk rot infections. Fusarium stalk rot
and charcoal rot appeared to cause most of the
problems. Drought stress or excessive rain in
some cases caused the stress that made the
sorghum susceptible to these stalk rots. In
addition the diagnostic lab received several
sorghum samples with bacterial leaf stripe.
(From Doug Jardine in Disease Alerts, Kansas
State University Department of Plant Pathology.)
The November 9 Crops Report predicted a crop of
232.5 million bushels, up 23% from 2000. This
production is from 3.75 million acres, up by
550,000 acres from last year. Sorghum acres and
production were concentrated in central,
southwest, and west central Kansas (Figure 5).
Yield levels in southern, central, and western
districts tended to be lower than those in the
eastern and northern districts. The highest yields
were recorded in the northeast district at 94
bushels per acre.
The predicted statewide
average yield of 62 bushels per acre is 3 bushels
higher than the 2000 yield average.

The test was no-till planted into a slightly wet seedbed.
Poorly closed seed furrows and crusting caused poor
stands in several plots. Yields were thrown out or adjusted
for the few plots with very poor stands. Excellent growing
conditions during the rest of the season enabled the test to
perform very well.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
The test was planted into a good seedbed and got off to a
good start. A hail storm on June 16 caused minor damage
when the sorghum was in the 6-7 leaf stage. Good rains
enabled the crop to develop well and fill grain, but extended
dry periods between the rains stressed the crop. Stalk rots
moved in as a result and caused some lodging.

Excellent stands were achieved in all plots. Spring weather
was cooler and wetter than normal with 7 inches of rain in
May. Hot, dry conditions dominated from the first week of
June until the middle of July. Good rains at heading and
early grain fill allowed the test to produce outstanding
yields. Dry conditions in August may have led to the lodging
seen in early maturing hybrids. A significant greenbug
infestation caused some damage before a July 1 insecticide
application.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Favorable planting conditions resulted in excellent stands
for most entries. Drought stress reduced yields and allowed
stalk rots to develop, resulting in significant lodging. Much
of the lodging occurred well before maturity causing a
significant reduction in yield.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
The test was planted in a good seedbed, but moisture was
uneven resulting in delayed emergence for some plants.
However, final stands were excellent and were able to take
advantage of timely rains throughout the season. Hot, dry
weather stressed the test late in grain fill, but lodging was
minimal.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Planting conditions were average at best. Final stands were
much less than expected. Early rainfall gave way to
summer drought conditions. Stalk rots, primarily Fusarium,
moved in and caused lodging in many plots. Differences
between hybrids in lodging were evident but appeared to be
related to maturity. The early hybrids experienced the most
lodging and tended to have the lowest yields.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Sorghum was planted into an excellent seedbed and
emerged less than one week after planting. Temperatures
were normal in May and below average in June.
Precipitation was below normal during May, but well above
average in June. Temperatures were above normal in July
and August. Rainfall was below normal, and sorghum
suffered significant drought stress. Some of the highest
temperatures coincided with half-bloom stage. Several
entries had severe late-season lodging caused by droughtinduced stalk rot.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Emergence was good, but a cool, wet May inhibited stand
establishment. Early season growing conditions were good,
but very high temperatures during heading caused poor
head extension in many hybrids. The early planting date did
not match the growing season very well.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Wet, cool conditions at planting caused variable stands,
however yields were better than expected. Early, vegetative
growth was inhibited by adverse weather. Late July rains
helped pollination and grain fill. As a result, large heads
developed on relatively small plants. Insects and diseases
caused little or no damage.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Waterlogged soil during the 3 weeks after planting caused
extremely poor stand establishment. The plants tillered
extensively and developed large heads to make up for the
reduced stands. Hot July weather was not detrimental to
growth due in part to excellent subsoil moisture. Greenbugs
were evident on small seedlings but did not build to
damaging levels.

2001 GROWING CONDITIONS
Excellent stands were achieved in all plots. Spring weather
was cooler and wetter than normal with 7 inches of rain in
May. A significant greenbug infestation caused some
damage before a July 1 insecticide application. Favorable
growing conditions combined with timely irrigation resulted
in outstanding yields.

SPAD = Spad meter reading measuring intensity of green color. A higher number indicates a deeper green and less
chlorosis. Readings were taken at the 5-leaf stage. Healthy, well fertilized sorghum at the same growth stage had readings
near 40 at Colby.
Rating = visual rating of plant color and vigor. 1 = green, no chlorosis; 5 = all leaves yellow (chlorotic), stunted. The rating at
Colby was made at the 5-leaf stage. At Tribune all hybrids were severely chlorotic at the 5-leaf stage so additional ratings
were made in early July and early August when differences began to emerge. The ratings listed above for Tribune represent
the average of all 3 ratings.
SS, LPP = sooty stripe, lesions per plant; average number of lesions per plant in a no-till, continuous sorghum planting at
Belleville, Kansas. Sooty stripe appeared relatively late in the season in this case and likely had little impact on yields.

SPAD = Spad meter reading measuring intensity of green color. A higher number indicates a deeper green and less
chlorosis. Readings were taken at the 5-leaf stage. Healthy, well fertilized sorghum at the same growth stage had readings
near 40 at Colby.
Rating = visual rating of plant color and vigor. 1 = green, no chlorosis; 5 = all leaves yellow (chlorotic), stunted. The rating at
Colby was made at the 5-leaf stage. At Tribune all hybrids were severely chlorotic at the 5-leaf stage so additional ratings
were made in early July and early August when differences began to emerge. The ratings listed above for Tribune represent
the average of all 3 ratings.
SS, LPP = sooty stripe, lesions per plant; average number of lesions per plant in a no-till, continuous sorghum planting at
Belleville, Kansas. Sooty stripe appeared relatively late in the season in this case and likely had little impact on yields.
