Introduced from the Sudan area of Africa by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture in 1908, now the most popular grain and forage 
sorghum because of its many uses, wide adaptability, profuse tillering 
(stooling ) habit, and its long planting season. Quite sensitive to soil 
and moisture, therefore best adapted on well worked loam soils. 
Produces high yields of forage and grain used as bundle feed, green 
or dry ensilage, and as a grain crop. The seed finds a ready sale on 
the market. Plants leafy, stems somewhat slender and subject to lodg- 
ing, juicy and slightly sweet, brittle when mature. Seedheads erect, 
seed small to mid-size, bluish-white, somewhat soft; shatters easily.

Introduced from India about 1890 by the Louisiana Agricultural 
Experiment Station, highly prized as a feed for poultry and sown 
quite extensively for game birds. Plants leafy, tiller freely and 
though of limited forage value are resistant to leaf diseases and well 
adapted to regions of high humidity. Seedheads large and plume- 
like; seed creamy white, brittle but not hard, with very high pro- 
tein content. Shatters freely at maturity, an advantage when grown 
as shade for poultry and game birds, which scratch and feed on 
the fallen seeds.

A chance field cross, similar to Darso, discovered at Enid, Oklahoma, 
in 1912. Produces consistently high yields of grain and forage. 
Adapted to very heavy clay soils in regions of high humidity. May 
be planted early or late; resistant to lodging and to bird damage. 
Grown as bundle feed, often as ensilage, and will stand for combine 
harvest. Stems stout, juicy, very leafy; leaves very broad. Seedheads 
not so large as Darso; seed brownish, waxy, non-shattering.
