(1) Days are approximate. Individual hybrid maturities may vary due to sorghum growth characteristics, planting dates and environmental conditions.
(2) Approximate number (000) seeds per pound; quantity may vary due to environmental influences during production season.
(3) O=Open; SO=Semi-open; SC=Semi-compact; C=Compact.
(4) HY=Hetero-Yellow; Y=Yellow; N=Normal.
(5) Yield for Maturity within primary area of adaptation and use. Numerical rating scale 1-9; 1=Best.
(6) Yield consistency across multiple locations and years within primary area of adaption and use. Numerical rating scale 1-9; 1=Best.
(7) Numerical rating scale 1-9; 1=Best.
(8) R=Resistant to pathotypes noted; S=Susceptible.
(9) Numerical rating scale 1-9; 1-Highly Resistant; 9=Highly Susceptible.
(10) Numerical rating scale 1-9; 1=Best
Deviation from normal planting date, cultural practices and growing conditions may affect performance and cause variation in these characteristics.
