“…In the study of the productivity and feed value of annual grasses in the conditions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of Russia, a 182% increase in the green mass of Japanese millet in comparison with oats was noted. Moreover, this crop turned out to be better than oats in terms of nutritional value, i.e., the yield of feed units and digestible protein (Avetisyan et al, 2020). In the Amur region, Japanese millet grain is also very valuable in terms of feed, composition, and nutritional value and is not inferior to oats and barley and contains up to 19.0% protein and 4.4% sugar in absolutely dry matter.…”

Japanese millet is a relatively new, valuable fodder crop. 100 kg of Japanese millet hay contains 54.0-60.5 kg of feed units or 6.9 kg of digestible protein. Besides, Japanese millet makes it possible to obtain environmentally friendly food, since the plant is not affected by diseases and pests, therefore, the use of pesticides is not required when cultivating it. However, in the northern regions of Kazakhstan, Japanese millet is an unconventional culture and is practically not used. Therefore, it is necessary to study the efficiency of the cultivation of Japanese millet in the soil and climatic conditions of the steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan. The study aimed to compare the efficiency of the cultivation of a non-traditional fodder crop (Japanese millet) with traditional fodder crops in the steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan to provide farm animals with a diverse and feed-valuable diet. The study was carried out in 2017-2019 at the station of the Kazakh Agrotechnical University named after S. Seifullin, located on dark chestnut soils of the Akmola region of Northern Kazakhstan. It was observed that in comparison with the traditional fodder crop (Sudan grass) Japanese millet exceeded it both in terms of profitability (it was higher by 13.7% when cultivated for feed and by 45.8% when cultivated for grain) and in terms of energy efficiency (it increased by 1.9 times when cultivated for feed and 0.7 times when cultivated for grain). During the cultivation of Japanese millet for feed, an additional net income was received from 1 ha (392 USD), and with grain, this amount equaled 622 USD. Thus, Japanese millet is a promising fodder crop for cultivation in the conditions of Northern Kazakhstan.

“…The maize's high demand for moisture and soil fertility makes its cultivation costly and decreases livestock farming profitability (Getachew et al, 2016). Introducing less popular cultures that are genetically resistant to environmental stress factors is one of the possible solutions to these problems (Avetisyan et al, 2020).…”

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is an unusual crop in Northern Kazakhstan. For its introduction in the region, seven sweet sorghum cultivars and two hybrids with a shorter vegetation period achieved cultivation and evaluation from 2020 to 2022 in the Northern Kazakhstan region. The results identified responsive genotypes to the new climatic conditions during the vegetation period. The biomass fodder values analysis referred to its chemical composition. The cultivar Volzhskoe 51 showed distinction by having a higher crude protein and fat content. Based on the acquired findings, sweet sorghum becomes highly recommendable for introduction as a fodder culture. The water-soluble sugar content determination in the central stem juice employed the refractometric method. Cultivars Kapital and Sevilia showed higher water-soluble sugars contained in the stem juice. The established fractional composition used high-performance liquid chromatography. Likewise, cultivars with a prevalent monoand disaccharide content succeeded in attaining isolation. Depending on the fractional composition, the study proposes a possible direction of sugar-sorghum juice processing for producing bioethanol and dietary food syrup. The results obtained contribute to further work on developing local sweet sorghum cultivars.

For the arid conditions of the Lower Volga region, plague is a promising forage crop. The article presents the results of assessing the study of the effect of the seeding rate and sowing methods on the yield of seeds of the plague variety Stachumi 3, which made it possible to identify the optimal option for obtaining the maximum yield. The study was carried out on the experimental field of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution of the Russian Research Institute of Sorghum and Corn Rossorgo, which is located in the suburban microzone of the Saratov region and is geographically located in the southern part of the chernozem zone of the Lower Volga region. The climate of the region is sharply continental and dry. The soil of the experimental field is southern chernozem. The results obtained were confirmed by the analysis of variance of a two-factor experiment on the study of six gradations of factor A (seeding rate from 1.25 to 7.50 million pcs./ha) and three gradations of factor B (seeding method with row spacing 70, 30 and 15 cm), according to the data of which revealed significant differences in the influence of the seeding rate on the yield of plague seeds. On average, over four years of study (2013-2016), the highest yield in the experiment was obtained at a seeding rate of 1.25 million pcs./ha with a wide-row sowing method with a row spacing of 70 cm - 2.13 t/ha, when sowing the same the norm with a decrease in the width of the row spacing to 30 cm, the yield decreased by 22.6 %. In the most favorable year in terms of moisture in 2013 (GTC = 1.7), the maximum yield in the experiment was obtained at a seeding rate of 2.50 million pcs./ha and amounted to 3.81 t /ha. The tendency of decrease in the yield of plague seeds with an increase in the seeding rate has been established. The lowest yield in the experiment was obtained with an ordinary sowing method (15 cm) and a seeding rate of 7.50 million pcs./ha - 0.36 t/ha. The main share in the manifestation of the trait over the three years of study was made by factor A (seeding rate) and amounted to 77.6-80.7% of the total sum of squares, and in 2016 the share of the influence of this factor was 29.5 % only. Factor B (sowing method) in 2013-2015 accounts for from 8.0 % to 13.8 %, and in 2016 the share of the studied factor increased upto 62.1 %. The proportional participation of the interaction of AB factors varied insignificantly over the years of the study.
