Sorghum variety SAVA is a drought-resistant crop widely used in agriculture for producing feed and obtaining grain with high starch, protein, and fiber content. Thanks to these characteristics, sorghum grain is an effective source of concentrated feed for livestock. Additionally, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids are cultivated for producing green mass, which is used as green feed, hay, silage, and haylage. It is important to note that green feed damaged by frost or pests such as aphids is not recommended for use. Sorghum is also used for producing grass meal, pellets, and briquettes, expanding its application possibilities in feed production. The crop is distinguished by high drought resistance and efficient water use, allowing successful cultivation in dry climates and on saline soils. The optimal soil temperature for sowing is 12-15ºC. In the absence of water, the plant may enter dormancy but quickly recovers after a light rain. These properties make sorghum a valuable crop for cultivating challenging lands and increasing agricultural productivity. Sorghum cultivation technology includes careful soil preparation, starting with autumn discing, plowing, and leveling cultivation. Sowing is carried out at a depth of 5-6 cm at a soil temperature of 12-15°C, with seed pre-treatment using fungicides. Depending on conditions, wide-row or continuous row sowing is applied, followed by post-sowing rolling. The vegetative period requires herbicide application to control weeds, and harvesting is performed at full grain maturity, ensuring high product quality and yield.
