Variety traits
Sorghum x drummondii (Steud.) Millsp. & Chase
A comprehensive indicator of feed value, assessed through green mass yield, dry matter yield, feed unit output, and plant structural elements (height, tillering, leaf area). Productivity directly depends on the grass's regrowth capacity over 1–3 cuttings per season.
In the reference 19 varieties crop Sudangrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
Productivity assessment of Sudangrass is conducted at the panicle emergence stage. Under rainfed conditions, green mass yield is 22–25 t/ha, whereas under irrigation, this figure reaches 40–50 t/ha, yielding 8–10 t/ha of hay over 3–4 cuttings. In breeding practice, a dry matter yield of less than 4.8 t/ha is considered low.
This indicator is closely linked to the biological characteristics of the variety, specifically regrowth capacity—the ability to recover quickly after mowing. A weak negative correlation is observed between green mass yield and crude protein content: an increase in protein content by 1% can lead to a yield decrease of approximately 0.94 t/ha.
