R2114 is a promising hybrid of common grain sorghum with an early maturity period, developed in the USA and certified according to OECD standards. The plants reach a height of 1.0-1.1 meters and are characterized by a high yield potential exceeding 100 centners per hectare. A feature of the hybrid is its ability to germinate in relatively cold soil, which allows for early sowing and effective moisture conservation in the upper soil layers. The vegetative period is 100-105 days, ensuring early maturity and the possibility of obtaining a harvest in a short period. The hybrid has a number of advantages, including genetic stability, a wide cultivation area, and increased cold resistance at the initial stages of development. The grain does not contain tannin, which improves its quality and expands the scope of applications. The plant is distinguished by high heat resistance, resistance to smut biotype 'C', as well as high resistance to lodging and diseases and pests of biotypes 'A' and 'C'. Productive tillering is 2-3, grain color is orange, mass of 1000 seeds is 26 grams, protein content in the grain reaches 13%, and starch is 74%. The recommended sowing rate is 120-180 thousand pieces per hectare. The main directions for use of the R2114 hybrid include grain, starch, and alcohol production. High drought resistance and yield stability make this hybrid attractive for cultivation in various climatic conditions. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptability, R2114 is a reliable choice for agrarians seeking to obtain a high-quality and high-yield product.
