A66 Grain Sorghum Hybrid

A66 - Midge tested.png

Highly adaptable all-rounder.

A66 has a great trait package and reliable yield in all conditions, making it an excellent addition in sowing programs. 

The toughness of A66 has been applauded in seasons where many other hybrids have not been able to adapt. Maintaining large grain, standability and a bright red colour in marginal conditions, A66 is widely adaptable across all farming systems and multiple environments.

The time A66 takes to reach 50% flower and then physiological maturity, on spring and summer sowings, compared with the longer season hybrids A88 and A14 , showcases A66's ability to spread maturity risk with flowering time and drydown across the grain sorghum cropping program. 

Comparing the same attributes to the quicker maturing hybrid G33, A66 demonstrates similar times to maturity on a spring plant, but lengthens its time to 50% flower and physiological maturity to perform similarly to G33 on the summer plant, getting to harvest before the summer season deteriorates. 

These maturity attributes showcase the adaptability of A66 to fit into summer and spring planting programs.
