Moench) genotypes of the different ecological and geographic origins: Kazakhstan, Russia, India, Uzbekistan, and China were tested in the high latitude rainfed conditions of northern Kazakhstan. The genotypes demonstrated high biomass production (up to 100 t·ha-1 and more). The genotypes ripening to full reproductive seeds were selected for seed production and introduction in the northern Kazakhstan. Lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum S-1, Streptococcus thermophilus F-1 and Lactococcus lactis F-4 essentially enhance the fermentation process, suppressing undesirable microbiological processes, reducing the loss of nutrient compounds, accelerating in 2 times maturation ensilage process and providing higher quality of the feed product. publisher: David Publishing date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/8680/1/Journal%20of%20Environmental%20Science%20and%20Engineering%20B%204%20%282015%29%2025-30.pdf identifier: Zhapayev, R and Iskandarova, K and Toderich, K and Paramonova, I and Al-Dakheel, A and Ismail, S and Srinivasa Rao, P and Omarova, A and Nekrasova, N and Balpanov, D and Ten, O and Ramanculov, E and Zelenskiy, Y and Akhmetova, A and Karabayev, M (2015) Sweet Sorghum Genotypes Testing in the High Latitude Rainfed Steppes of the Northern Kazakhstan (for Feed and Biofuel).
