Utes / Utyos

Stable Silage and Grain Production

Choosing the «Utes» sorghum variety means investing in a versatile forage base. Developed by the Breeding and Genetics Institute (Ukraine), this variety is optimized for high-performance livestock farming. With a plant height of 180-200 cm, it is perfectly suited for standard harvesting machinery, ensuring minimal field losses during cutting.

Agronomic Performance

• Vegetation period: 110-120 days. This medium maturity timeframe allows for consistent harvesting across most climatic zones without the complication of excess grain moisture.
• Nutritional value: Contains 10-11% protein and 70-80% starch, making it a powerful energy component for animal diets.
• Usage flexibility: The variety is equally effective for high-quality hay production and nutrient-dense silage.

For operators in the field, «Utes» is predictable and uniform, which streamlines header adjustments. The crop exhibits efficient moisture release at maturity, helping to reduce post-harvest drying costs. The high starch content facilitates excellent fermentation for silage, ensuring stable feed quality throughout the winter months. This is a practical choice for producers who prioritize reliable domestic genetics and consistent output in terms of biomass and grain yield.
