Book Description
This study was made to determine the influence of maturity on certain chemical constituents of silage produced from various sorghum and corn varieties grown under the environmental conditions found in northeastern Colorado. Experimental materials consisted of common and hybrid forage sorghums, a sorghum-sudangrass hybrid, a grain sorghum hybrid, and a corn hybrid. The study was conducted at the U.S. Central Great Plains Field Station near Akron, Colorado, during 1963 and 1964. Plants were havested for silage at six stages of plant maturity that ranged from panicle or tassel-emergence to the hard-dough seed stage. In 1963 all varieties tested reached the hard-dough stage, but in 1964 none of the varieties reached this stage prior to the advent of a killing frost. Dry matter contents of green plant materials from sorghums and corn increased as plants were harvested as the more mature stages of growth. Sugar percentages increased in most sorghum of corn varieties until about the milk-stage of maturity, but most varieties exhibited declines at later stages. Silage pH (hydrogen-ion concentrations) increased as plants were harvested at the more mature stages. Total nitrogen percentages showed marked decreases with an advance in plant maturity. Differences were negligible in total nitrogen percentages between green plant material at time of harvest and that of silage. Phosphorus levels of silages from different varieties showed no definite trends relative to stage of maturity. Percentages of calcium, potassium, and magnesium in silages produced from sorghum or corn varieties generally declined with and advance in maturity. Carotene levels diminished with an advance in plant maturity in all varieties used in 1964 studies. The magnitude of the decline varied considerably between varieties. Marked differences in yield were observed in 1964 between varieties of sorghum on corn used in the study.
