Utlyug

Ensuring yield stability in challenging environments

The «Utlyuh» grain sorghum variety, developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS, is a robust solution for farms operating in moisture-deficient regions. It is favored by growers who prioritize reliable yields on soils where traditional crops often fail due to environmental stress.

Agronomic performance and field benefits

• Enhanced health profile: Built-in resistance to bacteriosis and smut minimizes the need for heavy fungicide use, effectively lowering input costs.
• Harvest efficiency: The crop features excellent uniformity, which facilitates harvesting and ensures minimal grain loss during combine operations.
• Marketable grain quality: The light brown color and standardized properties make this variety a preferred choice for processors in the food and feed industries.

Practical application in crop management

«Utlyuh» is designed for farmers looking to build a secure feed stock or commercial grain supply in steppe and forest-steppe zones. Its ability to tolerate heat waves and drought makes it an excellent replacement for corn in rotation schemes that have faced previous moisture shortages. For best results, it is recommended to seed when soil temperatures reach 12-14°C, which allows for uniform emergence and efficient moisture utilization throughout the growth cycle.
