2015 MSU Grain Sorghum Hybrid Suggestions

Despite risk associated with pest damage from the Sugarcane Aphid, Grain Sorghum or milo is a crop which fills a considerable niche for Mississippi row crop producers.  Mississippi State University conducts Grain Sorghum Hybrid Trials so you have sound, scientific, local performance data to help pick suitable sorghum hybrids for your farm.

Those grain sorghum hybrids which have consistently produced high grain yields when grown in dryland culture include:

• Pioneer 83P17

• Pioneer 84P80

• Terral REV 9782

• Pioneer 83P99

• Terral REV 9883

• Terral REV 9924
