Sorghum Velikan

Reliable forage and grain productivity

The «Velikan» sorghum variety, developed by the Don Agricultural Research Center, is designed for farms that prioritize consistent and versatile forage production. By focusing on both vegetative biomass and grain yield, it serves as a robust solution for diverse agricultural tasks.

Practical application and agronomic value

• Silage and Hay Production: With a plant height of 120–130 cm, this variety is perfectly suited for mowing as hay or harvesting as silage. Its growth habit ensures high biomass density, which is essential for efficient forage storage.
• Grain Potential: Producing high-quality white grain, «Velikan» provides farmers with the flexibility to harvest for forage or process as grain feed depending on seasonal feed requirements.
• Growth Cycles: A 120–130 day vegetation period allows for optimal scheduling of field operations, ensuring harvest takes place under favorable conditions before late-season quality degradation occurs.

Choosing «Velikan» means opting for predictable efficiency. Its structure simplifies mechanical harvesting, reducing fuel and labor overhead. Whether your goal is to optimize dairy feed rations or secure a reliable grain stockpile, this variety offers the stability needed for modern livestock operations.
