Sorghum Favorit

Stable Silage and Fodder: Why «Favorit» Stands Out

Selection from the Breeding and Genetics Institute (NCSCI) has long been synonymous with predictability for Ukrainian farmers. Sorghum «Favorit» is the choice for those who prioritize the balance between green biomass volume and grain filling quality. With a vegetation period of 120–130 days, the hybrid matures reliably across most Ukrainian regions, ensuring a consistent yield of nutrients.

Key Advantages

• Phytosanitary Shield: The standout feature of this variety is its high resistance to head smut (Sphacelotheca reiliana). In conditions of high humidity or dense planting, where other hybrids may lose up to 30% of their crop, «Favorit» maintains the integrity of the panicle.
• Silage Productivity: Growing to a height of 180–200 cm, the plant develops a robust vegetative mass. A protein content of 10–11% makes it a valuable component in cattle rations, ensuring high palatability and feed digestibility.
• Dual-Purpose Flexibility: Unlike purely forage varieties, this hybrid shows impressive grain performance. This allows farmers to pivot their harvesting strategy based on current market demands: harvesting for high-quality silage or waiting for full maturity to secure commercial-grade grain.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Favorit» does not require extreme expenditures on fungicide protection, making it an optimal choice for farming enterprises focused on lowering production costs. If your goal is to guarantee the production of high-protein silage with minimal risk of pathogen damage, this breeding product from the NCSCI is a reliable asset for your crop rotation.
