2000 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 2000 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 2000
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 3, 7, 11, 15, 21) present
current-year yield as a percent of the average for
each location. The 2000 entrants, entries, and
some additional descriptive information provided
by the entrants are listed in the Appendices.
Included in the descriptive information for each
hybrid is a rating indicating relative chlorosis of
the hybrids on a high pH site at Colby.
Grain from tan-plant hybrids is desirable for
human food consumption and poultry feed. Tanplant sorghums have been tested at several
locations in past years. This year, three locations
of a regional study were planted in Kansas.
Results from the two locations that survived the
growing season are shown in Tables 22 and 23.
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.

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 character.
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.

Figure 2. 2000 Kansas weekly maximum and
minimum temperatures.
Relatively dry soil conditions (Figure 1)
accompanied by warm temperatures (Figure 2) in
April allowed producers to begin planting well
ahead of normal. The crop continued to develop
100
ahead of previous years through heading and
coloring (Figure 4). Very warm, dry conditions in
August and early September accelerated drydown, allowing harvest to proceed at a pace that
was nearly a month ahead of normal. At least
one reporting station in Kansas recorded weekly
high temperatures above 100° F for a period of 7
weeks from early August until mid-September
(Figure 2). In two of those weeks, the highs were
110° F. During that same period, the percentage
of crop acreage characterized as short or very
short of topsoil moisture increased from roughly
40% to 99% (Figure 1). A hard freeze in late
September (Figure 2) helped dry-down of some of
the later maturing sorghum in western Kansas.
The condition of the crop generally declined
throughout the season (Figure 3). Over 70% of
the crop was in good or excellent condition in late

May, but less than 40% was in those categories
by mid-September.
A slight improvement in
condition of the crop occurred in late July when
some areas received significant precipitation, but
the overall trend resumed in early August. (From
Crop-Weather reports, Kansas Agricultural
Statistics, Topeka)
reached economic treatment levels in 2000.
Insect Summary
The main problem observed in the Plant Disease
Diagnostic Clinic in 2000 was herbicide injury. No
single category of chemical was responsible.
Many other reported problems were weather
related.
Compacted sidewalls in seed slots
resulted in poor root development, and plants
later suffered from both heat- and drought-related
stresses. Seedling blights were less severe than
in 1999. Sooty stripe levels were generally down
compared to recent years because of the dry
weather, but a few heavily infested fields could be
found in the central part of the state.
Some less common insect pests of grain sorghum
appeared in 2000 in addition to the usual array
encountered in most years. Entomologists noted
some light infestations of greenbugs early in the
growing season, but this pest caused less
concern than normal. Conditions favored the
development of chinch bug populations in late
May and June. Chinch bugs were active in
eastern and central Kansas, but the overall level
of damage tended to be lower than expected. An
unusual instance of chinch bug damage occurred
in Finney County in mid-July.
The yellow
sugarcane aphid caused minor damage in the
eastern half of the state. This pest is usually not
a problem in Kansas and appeared to decline
fairly rapidly. Another insect that usually doesn’t
cause problems in sorghum, the flea beetle, was
found in fields in eastern Kansas, but damage
appeared minimal.
Although not generally
considered a major problem in sorghum,
southwestern corn borer infestations reached high
levels this year.
The heaviest infestations
appeared to build up in fields that were planted to
corn last year. Billbugs damaged sorghum in
fields with heavy infestations of nutsedge. Two
insects that have caused problems in the past,
corn earworm and sorghum midge, seldom

Disease Summary
Incidence of sorghum downy mildew was up from
recent levels. The reason for this is unknown. By
far the most serious problem was stalk rot. The
hot, droughty weather was favorable for the
development of both Fusarium stalk rot and
charcoal rot. Significant lodging occurred in some
fields, but the early harvest across much of the
state kept serious widespread lodging from
developing. There were no reports of sorghum
ergot in Kansas in 2000.
(From Doug Jardine, Extension Plant Pathologist,
Kansas State University Department of Plant
Pathology.)
The November 9 Crops Report predicted a crop of
176.7 million bushels, down 32% from 1999. This
production is from 3.1 million harvested acres,
down by 300,000 acres from last
year. Sorghum acres and production
were concentrated in central Kansas

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Wet soil conditions prevented an early May planting. Soil
moisture conditions in mid-May were favorable for
emergence. Heavy rainfall in June resulted in water-logged
soil conditions. Rainfall continued until late July, but no rain
was received from that time until after harvest. A slight
infestation of corn earworms caused no significant damage.
The late summer drought caused significant stalk rotinduced lodging, which may have affected yields of some
hybrids.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Soil moisture favored normal sorghum emergence and early
development. Mean temperatures were near normal in May
and below average in June. Heavy rainfall in the last weeks
of July coupled with favorable temperatures to ensure a
good yield, even though no meaningful rainfall occurred
between July 28 and harvest. During this time,
temperatures equaled or exceeded 100 F on 23 days, and
the mean maximum temperatures were 6.5 F and 4.6 F
above normal for the months of August and July,
respectively.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Favorable conditions in May and June with timely rains got
the test off to a good start. Hot, dry conditions during the
first part of July contrasted with wet, cool conditions during
the last 2 weeks of the month. The late-July rains carried
the crop through extremely hot, dry conditions in August.
The test was harvested before significant lodging occurred.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
In light of the increasing sorghum acreage in south central
Kansas, a demonstration test was planted in Sumner
County for the first time in 2000. Good early-season weed
control and rains in late May, June, and late July carried the
crop through the hot, dry conditions in August.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Dry soil conditions at planting reduced emergence
somewhat. The dry conditions persisted through the first 30
days after planting. Timely rains in late spring provided the
moisture necessary to produce relatively good yields. Hot,
dry conditions in late summer caused severe postflowering
drought stress, resulting in significant lodging in many
hybrids.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Excellent seeding conditions resulted in good stands for all
entries. Warm spring temperatures accelerated spring
growth. Hot, dry conditions in August and September
caused severe postflowering stress and shortened the grain
filling period. Some of the lodging was caused by a July 22
wind storm.

2000 GROWING CONDITIONS
Poor stands resulted from dry spring conditions and heavy
wheat residue. Yield was correlated significantly to stand
(r=0.52) and correlated inversely to maturity as measured
by days to half bloom (r=-0.57) and harvest moisture (r=0.65). Iron chlorosis symptoms also were apparent and
likely contributed to yield variability.

TAN-PLANT SORGHUM TESTS
Tan-plant sorghums lack the purple pigments found in typical grain sorghum plants. The grain produced on tan-plant hybrids
is more appealing to food processors and poultry feeders, who want to avoid potential discoloration associated with the
purple pigments. Also, many of these hybrids have shown excellent yield potential and resistance to grain weathering.
A regional effort to characterize tan-plant hybrids was initiated in early 2000. This cooperative effort, involving researchers in
Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska, included 10 testing locations in 2000: 6 in Texas, 3 in Kansas, and 1 in Nebraska.
Eventually, a summary of results from the entire region including grain quality information should be available.
The following results are averaged over the 2 locations that survived in Kansas this year. Hybrid rankings were different at
each location, so be sure to examine results from the individual tests in Table 23. Lodging was significant at both locations,
especially at Hesston.

resistant, susceptible, biotype E, biotype I. Blank spaces indicate that the information was not provided.
Most information was provided by entrants.
Spad meter reading: measure of the intensity of green color. A higher number indicates a deeper green and less chlorosis.
Readings from boot stage sorghum at Colby, KS on July 19. Typical readings for well-fertilized sorghum are usually much
higher (45-65). The low readings above reflect severe iron chlorosis and also may be results of low N fertility.

Excerpts from the UNIVERSITY RESEARCH POLICY AGREEMENT
WITH COOPERATING SEED COMPANIES*
Permission is hereby given to Kansas State University to test varieties and/or hybrids designated
on the attached entry forms in the manner indicated in the test announcements. I certify that
seed submitted for testing is a true sample of the seed being offered for sale.
I understand that all results from Kansas Crop Performance Tests belong to the University and
the public and shall be controlled by the University so as to produce the greatest benefit to the
public. Performance data may be used in the following ways: 1) Tables may be reproduced in
their entirety provided the source is referenced and data are not manipulated or reinterpreted; 2)
Advertising statements by an individual company about the performance of its entries may be
made as long as they are accurate statements about the data as published, with no reference to
other companies’ names or cultivars. In both cases, the following must be included with the
reprint or ad citing the appropriate publication number and title: “See the official Kansas State
University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service Report of Progress
825 ’1998 Kansas Performance Tests with Soybean Varieties’, or the Kansas Crop Performance
Test website, http://www.ksu.edu/kscpt, for details. Endorsement or recommendation by Kansas
State University is not implied.”

Cooperation of Research Center and Experiment Field personnel who furnished land and
performed many or all of the field operations is appreciated. Technicians Edward O. Quigley and
James R. Cochrane packaged seed and performed field operations for some of the tests.
Student intern Paul McGinness helped with seed counting, sign painting, and plot maintenance.
Mary Knapp of the Weather Data Library provided much of the climatological information.
