ASP 27

Stable performance in challenging climates

ASP 27 is a breeding achievement from the "Slavyanskoe Pole" institute, developed for farmers operating in high-risk agricultural zones. This sorghum variety confidently occupies the niche of a universal crop capable of providing stable yields even under moisture deficit conditions. In the current market, the model has established itself as a reliable tool for agricultural producers seeking a balance between grain production and high-quality livestock feed.

Agronomic potential and specifications

The plants reach a height of 120–130 cm, facilitating mechanized harvesting and reducing potential losses from lodging. The dark brown grain is distinguished by high nutritional value, making it a sought-after commodity in the feed industry. Key parameters of the culture include:

• Vegetation period: 90–100 days, allowing for successful maturation even in regions with short growing seasons.
• Resilience: genetic protection against smut and enhanced tolerance to aphid infestation.
• Versatile application: the variety is effectively utilized for three main vectors — commercial grain production, hay production, and silage making.

Choosing ASP 27 is a strategic decision for farms aiming to mitigate the impact of unpredictable weather conditions. The variety exhibits high adaptability across various soil types. For livestock farmers, this sorghum provides a stable source of forage that does not require complex storage or processing techniques, ensuring consistent nutritional quality in animal diets.
