Sorghum hybrids for silage were evaluated in small plots at the University of Maricopa Agricultural Center.  The maturity range of the hybrids was early to full season.  The trial was irrigated up on July 26, 2019 and harvested at soft dough which occurred from October 16 to December 19.  Various parameters were measured including yield, moisture, plant height, lodging, bloom date, and forage quality. Differences in yield, forage quality, and other parameters were detected among hybrids.
