Abstract
For 3 years hybrids obtained by crossing sweet sorghum and Sudan grass in Australia, Sudax, Zulu, Nemingha and Colala, were compared with the hybrid Sirsa 59-3, which was used as a standard. Average green and DM yields were greatest for Zulu. On a DM basis Zulu and Sirsa contained crude protein 9.10 and 8.23, ether extract 2.06 and 2.10, fibre 25.99 and 27.07, N-free extract 54.31 and 53.14, total ash 8.94 and 9.35, Ca 0.87 and 0.84 and P 0.53 and 0.58%. The Australian hybrids were more susceptable to red leaf disease in August and September than the Sirsa hybrid
