Cultivation of sorghum in Europe began in the 15th century. This cereal is distinguished by its high drought resistance and ability to adapt to various soil conditions, including saline soils, light clays, and heavy clay soils.
Gaolyan 088A sorghum contains important nutrients such as sucrose, fructose, glucose, as well as mineral elements: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, zinc, cobalt, manganese, iron, and sulfur. In addition, it contains amino acids and vitamins A, C, E, PP, and B-group vitamins, making this cereal a valuable source of nutrition.
It is important to note that sorghum belongs to the group of cyanogenic plants, meaning it contains cyanic acid. This should be considered when using this crop for fodder purposes to ensure safety and effectiveness. Due to its adaptive properties and nutritional composition, Gaolyan 088A is a promising variety for cultivation under various climatic and soil conditions.
