Sorghum RM 220 is a grain variety characterized by an early-to-mid heading period and a dwarf plant type. Its panicle is symmetrical, short, and dense at maturity, with a short neck. The glume scales are dark brown, and the development of awns on the lower floret scale is absent or very weak. The grain is round, grayish after maturity, and has low tannin content. The endosperm is predominantly starchy and yellow, ensuring high grain quality. The absence or weak expression of anthocyanin pigmentation in the coleoptile and styles, as well as the absence of yellow coloration in the styles and the midrib of the flag leaf, indicate specific morphological features of the variety. These characteristics influence plant resistance and its adaptation to various growing conditions. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to adverse factors, making it promising for cultivation in various regions. RM 220 is suitable for use in both the food industry and feed production due to the high quality of the grain and its composition. Starch content in the grain reaches significant levels, ensuring good energy value. Due to its agronomic characteristics, such as resistance to lodging and drought, as well as adaptability to climatic conditions, this variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high and stable yields.
