Robust forage solutions from VSAU breeders

The 'Voronezhskaya 9' Sudan grass is a product of long-term research conducted by the breeding center of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education, Voronezh State Agricultural University named after Emperor Peter the Great. This variety has established a strong presence in the portfolios of agricultural holdings focused on producing high-quality roughage. Thanks to the university's rigorous approach to genetics, the variety exhibits excellent adaptability to changing farming conditions.

Agronomic potential and productivity

As a classic representative of Sudan grass, this crop is designed to provide livestock with high-quality protein during the summer season. The plant develops a robust stem, reaching a height of 150 to 250 cm, which allows for a high concentration of biomass per hectare. Key productivity metrics include:

• Green mass yield: 35 to 55 tons per hectare (depending on soil fertility and moisture availability).
• Usage: Versatile application for green fodder and hay production.

'Voronezhskaya 9' is highly regarded by agronomists for its rapid regrowth after cutting, which enables multiple harvests within a single season. The variety shows good resistance to lodging, which significantly simplifies the mechanized harvesting process and minimizes field losses.

Why choose Voronezh State Agricultural University genetics
