Abstract

The grain sorghum tests are designed to help cereal breeder screen new genotypes of grain to develop high-yield, high-nutrient cultivars for the human diet. The forage tests evaluate the digestability and nutrient value of animal feed sorghums. Twenty-three techniques for grain sorghum and thirty techniques for forage sorghum are described. The document also includes names and addresses of companies from which research supplies were purchased.
