Sorghum ES Foen is a high-yielding grain sorghum variety, distinguished by its high resistance to arid conditions and stress. This mid-early variety boasts a high yield potential due to its plasticity and adaptability to various climatic conditions, making it particularly valuable for cultivation in forest-steppe and steppe regions. The grain of the variety has a characteristic reddish-cream color and contains a high starch content (65.6%) and protein (9.2%), enhancing its nutritional and technological value.
ES Foen is characterized by high resistance to fusarium, lodging, and shattering, ensuring crop stability and reducing losses during harvest. The variety demonstrates high initial growth energy, promoting rapid plant development and successful competition with weeds. Due to its tolerance to various stress factors, including drought, this hybrid maintains high productivity even under unfavorable conditions.
The recommended sowing rate for the ES Foen variety varies depending on soil moisture levels: 160–350 thousand seeds per hectare at insufficient moisture, 200–350 thousand at adequate moisture, and 240–350 thousand on irrigated plots. This sowing approach allows optimizing plant density and maximizing yield. ES Foen is a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high grain sorghum yields under various agro-climatic conditions.
