A new variety of super sorghum with pearl white grains has been discovered that can be used twice. Which can be used as grain and as fodder for cattle. Gujarat Scientists at the Sardar Krishnagar Dantiwada Agricultural University have modified the dual-purpose sorghum. The DS-127 (GJ43) was developed from a cross (AKR354X SPV1616).
Experiments were conducted at the Sorghum Research Station from 2009-10 to 2013-14 at the Agricultural University Deesa. After the primary trial in 2014, it was tested in different locations from 2015 to 2017.
The Juwar DS-127 (GJ43) offers 46.85% more product than the other variant GJ39s. And gives 22.66 percent more output than CSV20. Thus, it has now been recommended to cultivate new super-quality farmers who provide excellent grain production.
It is better for the good than the other varieties. Its long-wide leaves are excellent for livestock. The height of the plant is good. Both green and dry are good for animal feed.
