Abstract
Considerable variation in tannin concentration existed among 34 bird-resistant sorghum hybrids evaluated in 1972 and 1973. Grain tannin concentration ranged from 2.36 to 7.25%. Variation in tannin concentration with stage of grain maturation was probably a hybrid-specific reaction. A tendency was noted for the hybrids to have lower tannin concentration at maturity than at the dough stage of grain development. Grain tannin was reduced by partial shading.DM disappearance of grain samples in vitro differed significantly among the 6 hybrids evaluated at Alexandria and Baton Rouge. The DM disappearance for RS 700, a hybrid low in tannin, was 13% higher than for Funk BR-79, a hybrid high in tannin.The data suggest that sufficient variability in tannin concentration exists among presently available bird-resistant hybrids to permit selection of lower tannin types which would have resistance to bird depredation and grain deterioration in the field and improved digestibility
