Sorghum grain contains 11-15% protein and 68-73% starch, making it a valuable raw material for the production of grain and flour. In addition, sorghum serves as a highly nutritious concentrated feed for various types of animals and birds, providing a significant feed unit both in grain and green mass. Silage from sweet sorghum is distinguished by high quality and is close to corn in terms of nutritional value. Sorghum is drought-resistant and withstands air drought well, which allows it to be grown on various soils, with the best yields on fertile loams and light chernozems.
