SLAVYANSKOYE POLE 120 is an early-maturing grain sorghum hybrid (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) designed for cultivation in various regions, including the North Caucasus and Lower Volga. The plant is characterized by its high stature, a symmetrical and upright panicle of medium density with a very long neck. Leaves are dark green with weak anthocyanin pigmentation, while the grain has a narrowly elliptical shape with an orange color and semi-flinty endosperm. The 1000-grain mass varies from 22.1 to 28.1 grams, ensuring high yield—averaging 33.5 c/ha, which exceeds regional standards. The variety exhibits medium resistance to lodging and drought resistance at the standard level, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under variable climatic conditions. In field conditions, medium susceptibility to bacterial leaf spot is noted, requiring attention during agronomic activities. Protein content in the grain reaches 14.9%, making it valuable for use both in the food industry and for fodder purposes. SLAVYANSKOYE POLE 120 is also recommended for forage use and starch production, expanding its application spectrum. Despite one of the descriptions mentioning sugar sorghum with a similar name, this hybrid is specifically oriented toward grain production, as confirmed by its characteristics and agronomic properties.
