Sorghum Re236

Serbian breeding for high-quality grain yields

The Re236 sorghum hybrid from the Serbian Institute IFVCNS (Novi Sad) is the choice for producers focused on obtaining clean grain without unnecessary processing costs. The key feature of this hybrid is the complete absence of tannins. For animal feed production and the processing industry, this is a critical factor: the white grain of Re236 does not have a bitter taste, possesses high energy value, and does not require complex technologies to neutralize anti-nutritional substances.

Technological profile and advantages

• Target purpose: exclusively grain-oriented. The breeders at Novi Sad have focused on maximizing the output of primary products per hectare.
• Visual and quality characteristics: the white color of the grain indicates high starch quality and the absence of pigment spots, which positively affects the marketability of the produce.
• Growing economics: the lack of tannins significantly broadens sales opportunities. While regular sorghum is often destined for livestock feed, Re236 is sought after by poultry feed manufacturers and even the food industry, where a neutral raw material flavor is essential.

Re236 by IFVCNS demonstrates high adaptability to climatic conditions characteristic of Serbia and regions with similar temperature regimes. The hybrid reliably withstands drought periods while maintaining stable grain filling. Compared to red-grained counterparts, it requires slightly more diligent weed control in the early stages, but it excels due to the high demand for "white" grain.

This hybrid is optimal for farms employing intensive technologies and maintaining established supply chains to processing plants that require premium-grade, bitterness-free raw materials. Re236 is a reliable tool for the professional agronomist, turning sorghum from a "niche crop" into a significant source of profitability.
