Find the Right Sorghum Variety for Your Farm

Type
7 of 7 sorghum varieties

The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Choose a Sorghum Variety

Sorghum stands drought better than corn, so it fits the dry season and dry uplands. Pick by use: grain for food and feed, or sweet sorghum for juice and syrup.

Days to harvest

Days from planting to harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.

Pests and Diseases of Sorghum

The problems that hit sorghum fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.

Questions About Sorghum Varieties

How many days does sorghum take to harvest?
Across the 3 sorghum varieties with a count, the average is 103.2 days, from 93 for the fastest to 118 for the slowest. Use the days filter above to see the short ones.
What is the average yield of sorghum varieties?
The 3 varieties with a trial yield average 5.07 tonnes per hectare, and the best reach 6.2. Trial plots get good care, so expect less on an average farm.
Which sorghum variety is the best?
The best one is the variety bred for your area, your season and your buyer. Start with the filters above, then ask your municipal agriculturist which ones have done well in your town, and test a new one on a small area first.
Should I plant a hybrid sorghum?
A hybrid often yields more, but you must buy new seed every season, and it pays back only with good water and fertilizer. Open pollinated varieties cost less, and you can save their seed.
What does it mean when a variety is registered?
It passed official trials in several places before it was approved for sale. A variety that is not registered can still be good, but its numbers come only from its seller.
Where do these numbers come from?
From each registered variety's own trials, and for unregistered varieties from their sellers and farm sources, each one named on the variety page. The words on our pages are our own.

For the varieties not registered, their sellers and farm sources are named on each variety page. The words and pictures are anee.io's own.
