The G 1990 sorghum hybrid is a high-yielding, seedless sugar variety specifically developed for producing high-quality silage. Plants reach a height of 2.5-3 meters, have strong and succulent stems, as well as large, wide dark-green leaves. Due to its pronounced photoperiod sensitivity, the hybrid does not shed its foliage, helping to preserve green and succulent vegetative mass until frost. The vegetation period lasts 140-150 days, and its potential yield reaches 800-1200 c/ha. The plant contains a high sugar content — 20-21% — making it especially valuable for animal feed and biotechnology applications. The hybrid is adapted for cultivation in Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones with moderate and minimal moisture, where it demonstrates high drought resistance. In areas with insufficient water, it is recommended to plant in combination with corn using a 1:1 scheme (4 rows of corn and 4 rows of sorghum), ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. Sowing begins when the soil reaches the minimum safe temperature for seed germination. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to lodging and diseases, as well as high adaptability to various agronomic conditions. Sorghum G 1990 is a promising hybrid for use in animal husbandry and biotechnology. It is suitable for producing green feed, silage, grazing, as well as for obtaining biogas, bioethanol, and sorghum syrup. The plant regrows quickly after cutting, enabling multiple harvests per season. The recommended seeding rate is 180-250 thousand seeds per hectare, depending on specific climatic and agronomic conditions of the farm.
