Variety traits
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor
The dry matter content in sorghum determines grain storage quality, timing of harvest for silage, and the crop's energy efficiency.
In the reference 13 varieties crop Sorghum, where this is mentioned in the description.
For commercial sorghum grain, the moisture standard does not exceed 14.5%, which corresponds to a dry matter content of at least 85.5%. In fodder production, the optimal harvest stage for sorghum silage is aimed at reaching 30–32% dry matter, while in biogas production, the indicator in green mass can reach 29%.
Sorghum possesses high biological efficiency, requiring about 300 parts of water to produce one part of dry matter, which accounts for the crop's drought tolerance. The high dry matter content in the grain, ensured by the accumulation of starch and proteins, determines its nutritional value as a concentrated feed.
