Sorghum seeds FOOD 35 represent high-quality planting material intended for grain and silage cultivation. This medium-early variety is characterized by drought and disease resistance, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. The vegetative period lasts from 105 to 140 days, depending on conditions, while the weight of 1000 seeds varies between 28-30 grams. Plant height reaches 120-130 cm, ensuring good productivity and harvest convenience.
FOOD 35 possesses high yield potential: grain yields range from 2.7 to 3.8 tons per hectare, while green mass yields range from 15 to 19 tons per hectare. Grain yield in centners per hectare is 32-38 c/ha. The grain contains about 13% protein and 62-68% starch, making it a valuable raw material for the food industry, where it is used for producing groats, starch, and flour. Additionally, sorghum is widely used as feed for all types of livestock.
For sowing, the wide-row method is recommended with an inter-row spacing of 70 cm and a plant density of 100-200 thousand per hectare. The seed rate for sowing is from 3.4 to 6.7 kg per hectare of germinating seeds. Harvesting can be done either by direct combine harvesting or separately. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and resistance to adverse factors, sorghum FOOD 35 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable grain and fodder mass yields.
