Gergana Kovacheva, Kalin Slanev

Abstract: Sorghum is one of the most widespread agricultural crops in the world. With a production of 65 million tons from 450 million da, it ranks fourth among cereals worldwide. On the background of the global warming in recent years, sorghum is expected to occupy an increasing share of feed grain production in our country. The study presents the results of assessment for productivity of grain sorghum lines selected at the Agricultural Institute in Shumen. Promising lines with high grain productivity and optimal biotype with short vegetation phases to maturity have been selected.
