Variety traits
Sorghum x drummondii (Steud.) Millsp. & Chase
The leafiness of Sudangrass is a defining indicator of nutritional value, characterizing the proportion of leaves in the total biomass and their quantity on the main stem.
In the reference 21 varieties crop Sudangrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
To evaluate this trait, a quantitative method is used, involving counting the number of leaves on the main stem and calculating the leaf mass as a percentage of the total plant mass. High leafiness directly correlates with crude protein content, carotenoids, and better palatability of the forage for livestock.
In breeding practice, varieties are divided into three groups: low leafiness (up to 6 leaves, mass up to 35%), medium leafiness (6–9 leaves, 35–50%), and high leafiness (more than 9 leaves, over 50% of total mass). The target indicator for modern breeding programs is a leafiness level of at least 40%.
