BRODSKAYA 2

Reliable forage production in arid conditions

The «Brodskaya 2» sudangrass variety, developed by the FRC of Biological Systems and Agrotechnologies of the RAS, is designed specifically for regions prone to moisture deficits. Unlike intensive hybrids that demand perfect conditions, this variety stands out for its environmental plasticity and rapid regeneration after harvesting.

Agronomic Profile

• Height: The plants reach 150–250 cm, ensuring a high volume of dry matter.
• Harvesting frequency: Depending on the water availability, the variety allows for 2 to 3 cuts per season.
• Nutritional value: Protein content in dry matter is 10–12%, providing a stable foundation for livestock diets.

Pros and Cons

The core advantage of «Brodskaya 2» is its low-maintenance nature. It performs consistently on soils where more demanding hybrids might fail. It is the optimal choice for farms focusing on green fodder and hay production in steppe and forest-steppe zones. The protein levels are sufficient for standard forage needs; however, for high-yield dairy cattle, farmers may need to supplement the diet with higher-protein components.

If your goal is to minimize agricultural risks while ensuring consistent forage output, this variety serves as a robust and predictable tool for your farming operations.
