Features Resistance of Sugar Sorgo (Sorghum Saccharatum (L.) Pers.) Varieties to Environmental Stress Factors

Abstract

One of the types of sorghum, the most drought-resistant crop in the world, sugar sorghum (Sorghum sacchartum) is characterized by the fact that, unlike grain and broom sorghum, its stem juice contains more than 10-20% sugars. Because it can be cultivated in the arid southern regions, where it is either unprofitable or impossible to grow sugar beets, the interest in sugar sorghum is undeniable. The aim of the study was to identify high-yielding varieties of sugar sorghum of domestic and foreign selection with a high content of soluble carbohydrates, characterized by resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Introduction of sugar sorghum in risky agriculture zones of the Republic of Kazakhstan for use as food, feed industries and alternative renewable energy. The article reveals high-yielding varieties of sugar sorghum of domestic and foreign selection with a high content of soluble carbohydrates, characterized by resistance to adverse environmental conditions and their introduction in the zones of risky farming of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
