Grain sorghum seed treatment trial near Corpus Christi, TX; April 16, 2011
Results
- In 2012, 2 hybrids were tested head-to-head across 44 locations in the High Plains. When comparing FST/IST to FST, the fully loaded seed treatment showed a 1 bu/acre advantage average over the FST-only seed treatment.
2012 data are based on average of all comparisons made in 44 locations through December 20, 2012. Multi-year and multi-location is a better predictor of future performance. Do not use these or any other data from a limited number of trials as a significant factor in product selection. Product responses are variable and subject to a variety of environmental, disease, and pest pressures. Individual results may vary.
