Sorghum row direction x configuration x hybrid – Terry Hie Hie 2015–16

Abstract

Key findings •• Varying row direction from north–south or east–west did not affect grain yield or quality. •• Row configuration did not affect grain yield, however, there were some effects on grain quality. The solid row configuration produced higher grain protein and screenings levels, but lower test weight than the superwide and single skip treatments. •• There were differences between the hybrids for grain yield and quality. MR Apollo and MR 43 produced higher yields than 84G22. Differences in grain quality were also found, with MR Apollo producing a higher grain protein level and 1000-grain weight than the other two hybrids.
