Kinelskaya 100

An annual grass of the genus Sorghum, the plant family Poeceae

up to 42.0 tonnes/hectare of green mass,
up to 14.0 tonnes/hectare of hay,
up to 3.1 tonnes/hectare of seeds

Central Black Soil, Middle Volga, Ural, West Siberian, East Siberian, Far East regions

The plant stands 170‑187 cm high, with a superior tillering capacity (3–28 shoots). It is characterised by a speedy early development and a high yield potential. The variety produces from 2 to 3 cuts per year. Due to the excellent performance, it is indispensable as a backup crop in very arid years

It should be seeded at the soil temperature reaching 10–12°C. If the variety is planted early into cold soil, the emergence of the sowing material goes down to 40%

25–30 kg/ha in areas with a precipitation level >500 mm;
12–14 kg/ha in dry steppe areas;
wide‑row sowing — 12‑16 kg/ha

13,5–14,5 g

Application of N 80 kg/ha active substance, P 60 kg/ha and K 45 kg/ha ensures the green matter yield gain of 32%

For green crop, the sudan grass is cut 10–12 days prior to the heading of panicles once the plants have reached a height of over 50 cm. The crop is cut 12–15 cm from the ground. The stand is cut for hay at the beginning of the heading stage, for silage – at the early milky ripeness stage on the main shoots, when the green matter is at its maximum. The crop is harvested for seeds once the kernels on the central panicles have matured, when they and the stalk are dry and the seeds are still hard

An ultra‑early ripening variety, ready to be harvested for seeds in 75–85 days
