Sorghum AGRARIAN 5F is a late-maturing hybrid of sweet sorghum intended for use in agriculture, primarily for green mass. The vegetation period is 126-130 days, allowing for two cuts in late terms, starting from the first decade of August and ending in the second decade of September. The plant reaches a height of 220-250 cm, has a powerful, upright bush with a thick stem and a large oval panicle 25-27 cm long. Leaves are characterized by a dark green central vein, and the sugar content in stem juice reaches 15-16%, making the hybrid valuable for obtaining sugary raw material.
AGRARIAN 5F is distinguished by high resistance to drought, lodging, smoldering, and bacterial blight, which ensures crop stability under various climatic conditions. The productive bushiness of the hybrid is average - about 1.4, which contributes to the formation of good green mass. When cut at 60 days after germination, the plant regrows quickly, allowing its use in the green conveyor belt and obtaining two cuts per season. Additionally, at the wax ripening stage, sorghum is suitable for silage laying in mixtures with straw and other crop residues.
The yield of green mass of the hybrid is about 459 c/ha, and absolutely dry mass - 194.2 c/ha, which significantly exceeds standard indicators. Due to its agronomic characteristics and disease resistance, AGRARIAN 5F is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the North Caucasus region and the Republic of Crimea. This hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to obtain high-quality green mass and silage raw material.
