Sugar sorghum hybrid SS 506
Medium ripe
Breeding: USA
Areas of use: green fodder,
silage, grazing, biogas, bioethanol, sorghum syrup
A promising high-yielding hybrid of sugar sorghum. The height of the plant is 3-4 m. The yield of green mass is 1000-1200 c/ha. The stem is strong, juicy. The leaves are large, wide, dark green. The panicle is small, dense. A promising hybrid for use in bioenergetics and animal husbandry. The high sugar content makes it possible to ensile the dry harvest residues of
grain corn, increasing the nutritional value and energy of the feed. To obtain high-quality
silage joint crops with corn (1:1) are recommended.
