Abstract:
Modern climatic transformations are forcing agricultural producers to increasingly revise the concepts and practical approaches to the formation of a range of agrocenoses capable of providing stable and economically profitable yields in increasingly harsh conditions in terms of hydrothermal coefficient.In the current conditions of agricultural production in Ukraine, the prospect of realising the agrobiological and production potential of sorghum crops, their introduction, production, consumption and use is of utmost importance. Among the botanical species that make up this group of crops, a special place should be given to grain sorghum, which, under conditions of a hard hydrothermal coefficient, the progressive decrease of which is becoming more and more typical for the South and South-East of Ukraine, is able to form sustainable and economically feasible grain yields with quality indicators that allow its multi-vector use. Recently, the crop has been increasingly associated not so much with food or fodder use, but with a significant source of raw materials for bioethanol production.
