Sorghum ARELDO

Field Performance of Arelado Sorghum

When selecting a grain sorghum hybrid, reliability is key. The Arelado variety from Euralis Semences offers a predictable 120–130 day growing cycle, which is essential for efficient harvest planning. From an agronomic perspective, this hybrid performs consistently across varying soil conditions, making it a dependable choice for large-scale operations.

Harvesting Efficiency and Disease Resistance

The physical structure of Arelado is one of its greatest assets. With a height of 100–110 cm, it is highly optimized for mechanical harvesting. It puts significantly less strain on combine headers compared to taller varieties, and harvest losses are kept to a minimum. Furthermore, the hybrid shows robust natural resistance to Fusarium and various rots. This minimizes the risk of yield loss in damp conditions, ensuring that the crop reaches maturity in healthy condition.

Grain Quality and Feed Value

The grain quality of Arelado is excellent, characterized by its white color and, crucially, low tannin content. This makes it an ideal ingredient for animal feed formulations. With 11–12% protein and 70–80% starch content, it provides substantial energy and nutritional value. Beyond the grain, the plant’s profile makes it suitable for integrated farm use, including silage and forage applications.

• Maturity: 120–130 days, providing a stable harvest window.
• Plant Height: 100–110 cm, ensuring smooth combine operation.
• Phytosanitary Profile: Strong genetic defense against Fusarium and decay.
• Quality Standards: Low tannin, white grain with high starch content (70–80%).
