Appealing hybrid with performance to match.
A90 is a great addition to the A Series grain sorghum lineup, bringing versatility as a long flowering maturity hybrid that is adapted to a broad range of environments.
Top end yield potential makes A90 a first-choice option for long fallow dryland, high rainfall and irrigated sorghum production.
Very good grain size and long, semi open heads provide excellent grain quality and quick dry down.
A90 is a long flowering hybrid and will flower later than A88, A14, A50, A66 and G33 on both a spring and summer planting window.
At the back end of the season A90 drops grain moisture quickly and brings the primary head and tillers into maturity together. Relative to other hybrids that are quicker to flower, A90 has a quick dry down.
On a late plant, consider sowing A50 or A66 to manage time of harvest at the end of summer.
