AF 8301

AF 8301 is a grain sorghum hybrid primarily intended for forage purposes and the production of fodder grain. The plant is characterized by its tall stature and medium-late maturity period, with a vegetative period of about 100-110 days. The grain has a round shape with an elliptical profile and an orange-red color. The mass of 1000 grains is approximately 22 grams, indicating a good yield potential. The average grain yield reaches 28-41.2 centners per hectare, confirmed by test results in various regions.

The hybrid has high drought tolerance, making it an excellent alternative to corn under conditions of insufficient moisture. Thanks to the HI STARCH technology, AF 8301 is characterized by high starch content, which increases the energy value of the feed. The plant is resistant to diseases, has good palatability and digestibility, which is particularly important for dairy and beef livestock. Plant height ranges from 170 to 190 cm, and the sowing rate is 100-200 thousand seeds per hectare with a sowing depth of 4-6 cm.

Sorghum AF 8301 is adapted to various climatic conditions and has good frost resistance, which expands its cultivation possibilities. It is suitable for no-till systems, which facilitates agricultural practices and promotes soil structure conservation. This hybrid is a popular choice among farmers due to the combination of high yield, stress resistance, and excellent forage qualities, providing a reliable source of protein and energy for livestock.
