PS Lileya is a perennial grassy plant from the grass family, reaching a height of 150-170 cm and forming dense tufts with a crown diameter up to 100 cm. The stems are bushy, and the leaves are intensely green in summer, turning brown in autumn. The inflorescence is panicle-like, with dull flowers. The plant grows late in spring and fits well into various landscape compositions, including group plantings at forest edges, near lawns and water bodies, giving them natural rural or wild notes. PS Lileya is suitable for cultivation in USDA zones 4-9.
This sorghum variety, developed by Poltava State Agrarian University, is distinguished by high frost resistance and stable yield. It meets modern agricultural production requirements, providing high-quality grain. Due to selective breeding, the variety is adapted to various climatic conditions, making it suitable for cultivation in different regions.
Sorghum PS Lileya is an annual grassy plant, which simplifies subsequent soil processing without the risk of smothering subsequent crops. It exhibits increased drought and heat resistance, allowing successful cultivation on dry soils. The vegetation period for grain production is 60-80 days, and for use as a green manure crop — 45-60 days. Rapid growth of green mass and low maintenance requirements make sorghum an excellent green manure crop. The grain is suitable as feed for all bird species, requiring protection of the harvest from birds, yet it is a valuable feed for domestic poultry. The seed sowing rate is 300-400 g per hundred square meters.
