The sorghum variety ADVANCE is an early-maturing hybrid designed to produce high-quality light grain with semi-starchy endosperm. This variety is suitable both for feed use and for the production of food products, specifically starch. The vegetation period from germination to full grain maturity is 88-95 days, allowing for a harvest in a short timeframe. Grain yield reaches 3.5-5.4 tons per hectare, while green mass yield is 15.0-19.1 tons per hectare. The weight of a thousand grains is 32.6 grams, with protein content in the grain varying from 12.5 to 12.8% and starch content from 70.0 to 71.2%.
ADVANCE plants have a height of 98 to 112 centimeters and are optimally grown using wide-row spacing with a row width of 70 centimeters. The recommended planting density is 100,000-120,000 plants per hectare, with a seeding rate of 3.9-4.7 kilograms of viable seeds per hectare. Thanks to these agronomic parameters, high productivity and yield stability are achieved. The variety demonstrates good adaptation to various climatic conditions, including arid regions, making it versatile for cultivation in different regions.
ADVANCE is characterized by resistance to lodging and stress factors, which contributes to maintaining the quality and quantity of the harvest. High starch and protein content in the grain makes this variety attractive for use in feed and technical purposes. Due to its characteristics and agronomic requirements, the ADVANCE variety is an effective choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality sorghum harvest.
