Peliminary research indicates that forage sorghum hybrids and varieties differ in nitrogen and mineral contents. Contents of N, P, K, S, Ca, Zn, and Mn varied significantly among varieties. The varieties tested were below the postulated optimum beef cattle requirements for P, Ca, S, and Zn. Chelated minerals and sulfur added to the soil before planting did not affect the yield or mineral composition of the varieties tested.
