MATERIALS & METHODS
OBJECTIVES.
Evaluate the yield and nutrient composition of photoperiod sensitive and non photoperiod sensitive forage sorghum and sorghum-sudangrass compared to corn planted on 2 dates and harvested using single or multiple-cut strategies at 2 research stations (Marshfield and Hancock) in central Wisconsin.
At each site: • Treatments were arranged in randomized complete block design with 4
replicates• Results were analyzed as a split-split plot design
• planting date (early or mid-June) designated as main plot• harvest strategy (single or multi-cut) designated as sub-plot• 8 forage cultivars designated as sub-sub-plot
• Plots harvested using multi-cut strategy were harvested in late August and early October
• Data were analyzed independently for each location
DM YIELD• Forage yields were greater from Hancock site compared to Marshfield. • At Hancock, DM yields were greater for the early compared to late planting date.• Yields of plots harvested using a single-cut strategy were 2-3 times greater than
the combined forage yields of plots harvested with a multi-cut strategy.
NUTRIENT CONTENT• There was a harvest strategy by variety interaction for all nutrients and locations• The single-cut strategy decreased NDF levels. • Differences between NDF levels by harvest strategy were most pronounced in
varieties that developed a large seed head (BMR forage sorghum, sorghum-sudangrass and forage sorghum).
• Crude protein was reduced for plots harvested using a single-cut strategy.• Crude protein levels at the Hancock site were lower than at the Marshfield site.
• Plots harvested using the multi-cut strategy had greater in vitro digestibility than single-cut plots
• PS and conventional sorghum-sudangrass hybrids had the lowest in vitro digestibility when harvested using the single-cut system.
• In vitro NDF digestibility was increased for plots harvested using the multi-cut system.
• TDN was increased in plots harvested using the multi-cut system owing to increased fiber digestibility.
• Sorghum varieties with the highest yields generally had the lowest TDN values.• Multiple harvest corn and BMR sorghum varieties at Hancock had the highest
TDN values while multiple harvest plots at Marshfield were all similarly distributed.
• This project was partially supported by a Midwest Forage Association Research Grant.
• This work is partially supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Hatch project 1006557.
Sorghum hybrids are becoming increasingly popular as a source of moderate quality forage in areas that experience drought stress regularly. Photo-period sensitive (PS) sorghum varieties have been developed for biofuel production because they remain vegetative until total daylight shortens to 12 h 20 m in the fall. PS sorghum hybrid varieties accumulate more dry matter than non PS sorghum-sudangrass, forage sorghum, BMR forage sorghum, and grain sorghum hybrids (Bean et al.,2013). PS sorghum hybrids also have a flexible harvest schedule because they remain vegetative until the first frost without significant deterioration of nutrient composition (Lauriault et al., 2011).

• At the Hancock site PS forage sorghum, PS sorghum-sudangrass, and conventional sorghum-sudangrass harvested with a single-cut strategy yielded more DM than corn.
• At the Marshfield site the PS sorghum-sudangrass hybrid yielded comparably to corn.
• PS sorghum-sudangrass and conventional sorghum-sudangrass offered the highest yield of moderate quality forage when harvested using a single cut system.
• Sorghums should be harvested after a killing frost to maximize dry matter, further research is necessary to establish harvest recommendations.
