BMR cultivars on average produce less tons/acre than nonBMR cultivars but tend to have better
digestibility as measured by ADF, NDF, and IVTD. When harvested at the grain soft dough
stage little difference has been observed in standibility between BMR and nonBMR cultivars.
Some cultivars of both BMR and nonBMR sorghum are equal in nutritional quality to corn.
Approximately 0.7 ton/acre (65% moisture) of forage sorghum can be grown for every inch of
water used while using about 30% less water than fully irrigated corn. The PS cultivars
produced the highest yields in our trials, but also were the poorest in quality.
