Abstract :This research was conducted with five sorghum-sudangrass hybrid cultivars insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey,Grass,Grazer,Jumbo and Sweet); at Animal Research Institute of Konya in 2000. Obtained data as average of two cutting summarised as follows; plant heights were 215.53 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sweet);-231.02 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo);; plant fresh weights were 495.6 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey); to 674.5 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sweet);; stem diameters were 0.99 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey);-1.39 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo);; stalk weights were 406.8 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey); to 537.0 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sweet);; stalk ratios were 74.7% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jum-bo);-82.0% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey);; leaf weights were 88.7 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey); to 153.0 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo);; leaf ratios were15.5% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Grazer);-25.2% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo);; dry matter ratios were 27.73% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sweet); to 34.55% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elrey);. As total of two cutting green forage yields were 146410 kg.ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Grass); to 190380 kg.ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo); and dry matter yields were 44860 kg.ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Grass); to 57450 kg.ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Jumbo);. According to results of one-year; Jumbo and Sweet c.v. can be shown to be suitable varieties as silage production with respect to yield and other observed characters in Konya Province and similiar ecologies.
