Grain sorghum hybrid Zuni, Tzuni, Kharkiv region.

A promising hybrid of ordinary (grain) sorghum for cultivation in areas with harsh climatic conditions, limited by moisture deficit and high temperatures. The height of the plant is up to 0.8 m. The low growth of the hybrid allows it to quickly form a vegetative mass, using less water compared to other hybrids. Short internodes provide high resistance to lying. The vegetation period is 65 days (according to American data), which contributes to its resistance to diseases and pests. It is recommended for harvest and insurance crops, it can serve as a precursor that clears the field for winter crops quite early and leaves a sufficient amount of organic plant residues.
