Uniquely bred for Australian farms. Tough and adaptable for top yields.
Pioneer® sorghum hybrids provide feed grain to the beef, dairy, pig and poultry industries.
Sorghum is the main summer farming crop grown in Queensland and Northern New South Wales. It's a good choice as a rotation crop due to its high heat and moisture stress tolerance.
Sorghum is well suited for dry conditions, areas with uneven rainfall distribution that may adversely affect the growing season of other crops, and high year to year variation in rainfall and water supplies.
Other advantages to growing sorghum include its ability to be grown on marginal soils and a shorter growing season.
The lower variable cost of sorghum can help growers spread risk by producing another crop at lower cost therefore spreading limited capital across more acres.

has long been one of the leading commercial grain sorghum hybrids in Australia.<\/h1>\n<p>A shorter hybrid with very good stalk strength means G33 has excellent standability, especially when under stress which will makes it a very attractive option for growers.<\/p>\n<p>G33 has low staygreen levels which enables quick harvest dry-down. The hybrid also offers excellent cold tolerance which makes it a great option for cold starts.<\/p>\n<p>This hybrid has good-sized red grain on a semi-open head type.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 98.0173%;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top; width: 42.4516%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/531288354\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20px; vertical-align: top;\"> <\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top; width: 57.0323%;\">In this video, grower Andrew Arthur talks about the strengths of G33 and how it fits into his farming program.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","content2":"<h3>KEY FEATURES<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Suitable for all growing districts dryland and irrigation<\/li>\n<li>A good option for cool starts<\/li>\n<li>Mid\/quick flowering with excellent yield for maturity<\/li>\n<li>Very good grain size<\/li>\n<li>Red grain colour<\/li>\n<li>Short plant stature with a semi-open head type<\/li>\n<li>High top-end yield with excellent standability<\/li>\n<li>Standard spray-out management applies<\/li>\n<\/ul>","image":{"id":188,"parent_id":null,"name":"Tech-Note---COVER---Grain-Sorghum.png","description":null,"storage":"assets","size":110695,"extension":"png","mime_type":"image\/png","width":365,"height":365,"keywords":null,"usage":{"sorghum_hybrids.32":"A66","sorghum_hybrids.33":"G33","sorghum_hybrids.12":"A75"},"created_at":"2021-03-26 19:21:13","updated_at":"2021-10-26 11:51:30","readonly":null,"value":null,"_meta":null,"node_path":[{"id":188,"name":"Tech-Note---COVER---Grain-Sorghum.png","parent_id":null}],"link":"\/asset\/188.png","readable_size":"108.10 kB","secured":false,"secured_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdG9yYWdlcyI6WyJzZWN1cmVfYXNzZXRzIl0sImZpbGUiOjE4OH0.WRFTytDMCDMLcqJk_3tkdHNe3mx2UKpom38eyix-msg","full_path":"188"},"custom_bag_image":null,"graph_image":null,"map_image":null,"new":null,"position":33,"plantheight":null,"type":"sorghum","title":"G33","name_id":"g33","meta_keywords":null,"meta_description":null,"tolerancetrait":null,"producttype":null,"maturity":"Medium-Quick","phenology":null,"blacklegroup":null,"grainoilcontent":null,"plantvigour":null,"cropstandability":null,"shattertolerance":null,"graintestweight":null,"blacklegrating":null,"blacklegresistancegrouping":null,"performertype":null,"crmnumber":null,"crmposition":null,"graintoyieldmaturity":null,"droughttolerance":null,"stalkstrength":null,"rootstrength":null,"staygreen":null,"huskcover":null,"northernleafblight":null,"commonrust":null,"cobrot":null,"harvestdaystart":null,"harvestdayend":null,"silageyieldmaturity":null,"drylandadaptability":null,"wholeplantdigestibility":null,"agronomy_traits":{"head_exertion":"6","height_uniformity":"8.5","stalk_lodging_charcoal*":"8.5","stalk_lodging_drought*":"8.5","midge_resistance":"6","harvest_grain_dry_down":"7","tillering":"6.5","grain_size":"7","early_seedling_vigour":"7","pollen_score":"8"},"disease_traits":[],"characteristics":[],"recommendations":[],"crm":null,"heading":null,"corn_traits":null,"crop":null,"fully_researched_and_proven":null,"improved_fermentation":null,"aerobic_stability":null,"improved_fibre_digestibility":null,"sub_heading":null,"best":null,"intro":"Excellent standability, especially when under stress.
