Pendant is a type of flexible sorghum-sudangrass intended primarily for feed use. This variety is characterized by a relatively short maturation period, reaching cutting maturity within 58-74 days, which allows for efficient use in agriculture to produce quality feed.
One of the key features of the Pendant variety is its relative drought tolerance. During research, it was established that seeds of this variety maintain their ability to imbibe in hypertonic solutions at control levels, indicating their resistance to moisture deficit. Such a characteristic makes Pendant a promising choice for cultivation in conditions with limited water supply.
The Pendant variety can serve as a basis for creating new sorghum hybrids and varieties with improved drought tolerance and yield. Its use contributes to increasing the stability of the feed base in various climatic conditions, which is especially important for animal husbandry and agro-industrial complexes.
