Sorghum Partners have found sorghum products with aphid pest tolerance

In Illinois, Sorghum Partners has announced that several of its hybrid sorghum products have demonstrated tolerance against the sugarcane aphid pest that has plagued crops as far North as Kansas.

A third-party evaluation conducted by the Agricultural Research Service division of the USDA verified that several Sorghum Partners® brand sorghum hybrids exhibit strong tolerance to the sugarcane aphid pest. The use of SP6929, KS310, NK5418, and K73-J6 hybrids, as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, can effectively reduce the impact of a sugarcane aphid infestation.
