VOLZHOYE 615

VOLZHOYE 615 is a mid-season hybrid of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) intended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region. The plant is characterized by average height and a symmetrical head, which varies from short to medium length and features medium density at maturity. Leaves have a dark green coloration with a lighter midrib on the flag leaf, while seedlings exhibit weak anthocyanin coloration. Panicles are rhomboid-shaped with short awns that acquire a reddish-brown hue upon maturation. The awn of the lower lemma is either absent or very weakly expressed. The hybrid grain is narrowly elliptical or elliptical, with a round back shape and orange-red color. The endosperm is semi-flinty, which affects grain quality. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 21.3 to 39.2 grams. Heading time is average, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to the climatic conditions of the growing region. The VOLZHOYE 615 hybrid is distinguished by high yield — the average figure is 33.2 centners per hectare, which is 8 centners higher than the standard average. Furthermore, it possesses lodging resistance and drought resistance at the level of standard indicators, making it a reliable choice for agricultural production under variable climatic conditions.
