Under the current conditions of climate drying, the identification of agricultural practices with the potential to mitigate the impact of climate change on the security of agricultural production is raising more and more interest. In this context, the orientation towards drought resistant crops is emerging as an alternative solution. Known as a culture specific to areas with arid climate and poorly productive soils, grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, var. eusorghum) has become, in the context of increasingly obvious climate change, an alternative to maize, the cultivated area of sorghum increasing annually due to the stability of the productions and their nutritional quality. The results of the research presented in this paper show that the level of the registered productions increased with the density of plants and the increase of the nutrient doses, the productions registering values of over 8,140 kg/ha in the variant with the density of 30 seeds/square meter on the level of fertilization with N150P80 + Aminosol. The level of fertilization ensured has led to high values of production quality indices: protein and starch.
