Sorghum ZERSTA 90 C

ZERSTA 90 C is an early-maturing grain sorghum variety developed in the USA and certified under OECD standards. The plant reaches a height of 0.8-0.9 meters, has an open panicle, and exhibits characteristic awniness of grains, indicating high drought tolerance and the ability of the grain to lose moisture quickly upon maturation. The variety is characterized by genetic stability, high plasticity, and the ability to provide stable yields even under dense sowing and stress conditions. It is resistant to heat, lodging, diseases, and pests, specifically to biotypes 'A' and 'C' of aphids.

ZERSTA 90 C is suitable for early sowing in relatively cool soil, as well as for late sowing dates, which expands the possibilities of its cultivation in various climatic zones. The vegetative period is 90-100 days, which ensures early maturity and allows for effective use of the variety in crop rotation. The potential grain yield reaches 100 c/ha, while the grain has an orange color, a 1000-seed mass of about 27 grams, 13% protein content, and 73% starch.

The main areas of use for the ZERSTA 90 C variety include grain, starch, and alcohol production. Due to high drought tolerance and resistance to adverse conditions, this variety is a reliable choice for agricultural enterprises seeking to obtain a stable and high-quality grain sorghum yield.
