The KALAHARI sorghum hybrid from Lidea is a high-quality crop designed for grain production under various climatic conditions, including steppe and forest-steppe zones. It is distinguished by high tolerance to the herbicidenicosulfuron, providing reliable weed control and promoting stable plant growth. The seeding rate varies depending on soil moisture levels: 160–200 thousand seeds per hectare for insufficient moisture, 200–240 thousand for adequate moisture, and 240–280 thousand for irrigated land. The panicle shape is semi-dense, and the grain color is red-cream, indicating high-quality harvest.
The KALAHARI sorghum exhibits high drought and disease resistance, ensuring stable productivity even under water deficit conditions. Early maturity allows reducing risks associated with high temperatures during flowering, which is particularly important for maintaining yield. Thanks to these characteristics, the hybrid is suitable for cultivation using various technologies, making it a versatile choice for farmers.
This sorghum hybrid is widely used not only for grain production but also in food industry, animal feed, and alcohol production. The high-quality grain makes it a valuable raw material for various agricultural and food industry sectors. Thus, KALAHARI combines resilience, versatility, and high productivity, making it a profitable and reliable choice for farmers.
