Horizon

Stable grain sorghum for challenging climates

The «Horizon» variety, developed by the Selection and Genetics Institute, is designed for farmers who prioritize yield predictability in regions with insufficient moisture. Unlike many hybrids that require ideal conditions, this variety shows high adaptability to stress factors, making it a reliable staple in crop rotation for the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones.

Practical application in the field

• Yield Potential: «Horizon» is focused on high-quality grain production. Its physiological traits allow it to effectively utilize moisture during critical growth phases, minimizing risks during dry summers.
• Agronomic Efficiency: The plants are highly uniform, simplifying combine harvester settings. Excellent lodging and shattering resistance allow for flexible harvesting schedules without worrying about grain loss.
• Farm Utility: The primary use is fodder grain production. High nutritional value makes it highly sought after in the livestock sector for formulating balanced feed mixtures.

Choosing this variety is a smart move for farms aiming to reduce reliance on expensive hybrid seeds while maintaining stable results on fields with water scarcity. It is a robust, reliable performer that maintains grain quality and yield standards even when the weather isn't optimal.
