The high drought tolerance and plasticity of sorghum renews its economic importance for a stable production of fodder grain in the frequently appearing extreme droughts. During the period 2020-2022 a wide range of varieties and promising lines of grain sorghum from foreign and native selection were tested in terms of grain productivity. Climatic changes in recent years require the maintenance of varieties and hybrids with a wide ripening range and the selection of varieties with greater adaptability to extreme abiotic factors. The obtained results confirm the high productive potential of grain sorghum. The selected promising grain sorghum lines have high potential for grain yield and optimal biotype.
