Koso

The sorghum-sudan hybrid Koso is a promising high-yielding forage crop with a vegetation period of 115-120 days. Plants reach a height of 2.0-2.5 meters, have medium-thick stems and long, medium-width dark green leaves. This hybrid is characterized by high growth vigor, quickly recovering after mowing, ensuring stable and prolonged green mass yield.

The Koso hybrid possesses several important advantages, including genetic stability, high cold resistance during germination, and a wide cultivation area. It is characterized by high green mass yield — from 700 to 900 centners per hectare — as well as good leafiness and the ability to retain feed succulence and green leaf color until frost. Additionally, the crop exhibits high drought resistance, resistance to lodging, and disease resistance, making it a reliable choice for forage production.

The recommended seeding rate is 180-200 thousand seeds per hectare, which promotes productive tillering with 4-6 stems. Due to its characteristics and high feed value, the sorghum-sudan hybrid Koso is widely used in agriculture for growing forage crops, ensuring high-quality animal feed and stable yields.
