A28

A Versatile Solution for Livestock and Grain Production

The A28 sorghum hybrid from IFVCNS (Novi Sad) is designed for farmers who prioritize reliability and flexible crop management. With a maturity period of 110–120 days, this hybrid fits perfectly into diverse crop rotations, ensuring a timely harvest before extreme weather patterns arrive.

The primary advantage of A28 is its dual-purpose nature. Depending on market demand, you can harvest it either for high-quality grain or for nutrient-rich silage. The plant height of 180–200 cm provides significant biomass, while the robust stalk structure minimizes lodging risks during mechanized harvesting, even under heavy yield loads.

Field Performance and Stress Resistance

Crop protection management is a significant cost factor in modern agriculture. A28 addresses these concerns by providing high natural resistance to major field threats:

• Bacteriosis: maintains crop health and yield potential even in high-infection environments.
• Smut: stable performance reduces the need for intensive fungicide applications during late growth stages.
• Aphids: strong natural defense minimizes pest pressure and safeguards yield quality.

With grain options available in both red and white, producers can select the variety that best aligns with their processing needs. A28 stands out as a reliable "workhorse" for agricultural operations looking to maximize output while maintaining cost-efficiency through reduced pesticide reliance.
