Variety description

10 August 2026

The Sherkan variety is a hybrid of grain sorghum and sudangrass. This crop is used for forage and differs from pure sudangrass in later heading dates, which provides flexibility in forage harvesting and livestock grazing.

In technical documentation, the variety may be designated as SS 2 BMR, which indicates the presence of the brown midrib trait. This feature is aimed at reducing lignin content, which contributes to increasing the nutritional value and digestibility of the feed for animals. The hybrid possesses high adaptability and drought tolerance.
