Variety traits

Grain sorghum yield

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor

A key indicator of sorghum productivity determined by structural elements: plant stand density, grain weight per panicle, and 1000-grain weight.

In the reference 70 varieties crop Sorghum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Average grain sorghum yields range from 3–4 t/ha, with high yields reaching 5–6 t/ha, and in intensive conditions, figures can exceed 7 t/ha. Under unfavorable conditions without fertilizer application, yields may decrease to 1.3 t/ha, while world records under rainfed conditions reach 15.05 t/ha.

The crop's productivity directly depends on agrotechnological practices, including the choice of tillage method, nitrogen fertilization, and optimization of seeding density. Due to its C4 photosynthesis pathway and well-developed root system, sorghum maintains stable yields under drought conditions.
