Sorghum GIBSON is a high-quality cereal plant widely used in various agricultural and household applications. In particular, sorghum is used to produce household brooms, which are lightweight, eco-friendly, and highly efficient for cleaning. The broom’s radial design, where the sorghum bundle is divided into several rays, ensures ease of use, durability, and resistance to wear, making it suitable for both indoor floor cleaning and outdoor areas.
The sugar sorghum hybrid SS506, produced in the USA, has a medium maturation period and high yield. This variety is used for producing high-quality silage, green mass, biogas, bioethanol, and sorghum syrup. The seeds have a fraction of 3.5-4.5 mm and undergo special treatment with fungicides and seed treatments for protection. The vegetative period is 125-130 days, and the period from germination to panicle emergence is 80-85 days. The recommended row spacing is 45-70 cm, and the sowing rate varies from 160,000 to 250,000 seeds per hectare. The potential yield reaches 1200-1400 centners per hectare, with an average yield in Ukraine of 900-1200 centners. The grain quality is characterized by 11.5% protein, 68% starch, 3.5% fat, and up to 5% tannin, while the juice contains 18-19% liquid.
For precise and efficient sorghum sowing, a specialized sowing disc is used, ensuring even seed distribution across fields. This agricultural equipment allows for automated sowing, increasing productivity and sowing quality. Thus, GIBSON is a comprehensive solution including high-quality raw material, convenient household products, and modern sowing technologies, making it popular in the agricultural sector and household use.
