Sorghum SLAVYANSKOYE POLE VS

Technical Profile and Agronomic Efficiency

The "Slavyanskoe Pole VS" sorghum variety is a breeding product focused on achieving maximum biomass-to-feed-unit conversion. Developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Sorghum and Soy, this medium-early genotype is engineered to withstand climatic volatility while maintaining consistent yield stability under intensive farming conditions.

Morphological Structure and Productivity

The core advantage of this hybrid lies in its compactness combined with high vegetative density. Plant height ranges between 100 and 110 cm. This stem morphology minimizes lodging and simplifies mechanized harvesting, which is critical for efficient hay and silage production.

• Vegetation Cycle: 90–100 days. This growth window optimizes daylight and seasonal temperature ranges, ensuring full grain maturity even in regions with shorter summers.
• Grain Potential: The dark-brown grain features high energy density. With a starch content of 70–80%, this variety is a highly sought-after component for compound feed. The significant carbohydrate fraction ensures rapid fermentation during the ensiling process, enhancing the long-term preservation of silage in bunkers.

Practical Application in Livestock Farming

The versatility of "Slavyanskoe Pole VS" is its primary asset in feed production. Due to its balanced chemical composition, the green biomass is perfectly suited for silage. The planting density and optimal plant height allow for high dry matter yield per hectare. Integrating this sorghum into cattle diets significantly boosts nutritional value through a high concentration of available carbohydrates in the grain portion, directly improving herd productivity.
