KWS sorghum: drought-resistant, sustainable, and good for people, animals, and the soil.

Perfectly adapted to a changing climate: This variety of millet requires little water, hardly any herbicide protection, and offers a wide range of applications. Ideal for successful agriculture in a changing climate with increasingly hot and dry summers.

Lower water consumption. Stable yields.

Thanks to its deep roots, sorghum needs comparatively little water. The waxy coating of the leaves also provides natural protection against evaporation. Remarkably, sorghum stops growing during drought and only starts growing again once water is available.

Highly efficient. With built-in protection.

Sorghum requires only a little fertilizer. And the plant is very good at keeping existing nutrients in the soil: With sorghum, nitrogen leaching is reduced by up to 50% on loess and sandy soils.

First choice. Including as a second crop.

Sorghum is not a host for corn rootworm larvae, and this helps to control the pest naturally, making the plant an ideal alternative in crop rotation. It is even suitable as a second crop in the field.

Strong root system. Efficient substrate.

The dense fine root system is highly efficient at extracting water and nutrients from the soil for growth. And when sorghum stalks are left in the field after a harvest, they also introduce organic matter back into the soil.

Plenty of panicles. Plenty of chances.

Each plant can form several panicles. The grains are gluten-free and contain a lot of protein and starch. They are ideal as a feed component for pigs, cattle, and poultry – and bang on trend in human nutrition.

High energy density. Highest acceptance.

For pig fattening in particular, sorghum is truly a first-choice cereal: The plant contains many nutrients and easily digestible energy, coupled with the highest feed acceptance. Animals are very happy to eat it.

Stress- and drought-resistant, ideal for biogas, feed, and nutrition production. Stable growth even in heat and drought. Pest- and fungus-resistant for a secure harvest with little fertilizer and herbicide: The combination of these outstanding properties makes sorghum the ideal crop for an agriculture of the future – one that’s already here today.
