Production and quality traits of maize hybrids (NS-201, NS-444, NS-475, NS-606 and NS-640) varieties and forage sorghum and sudan grass (Sweet Sioux, NS-Srem and NS-Zora) are presented. Under very favourable climatic conditions (1991), the average yield of maize green matter of 81.8 t/ha with the share of dry matter of 35.3%, was achieved. During 1992, in extremely dry weather conditions, the yield of green matter was lower by 37.8%, whereas the protein share was higher by 2.34. Early maturity hybrids have been found to possess a higher ear share, which influences the energetic value of nutrients, i.e. dry matter. The surveyed varieties and hybrids of forage sorghum and Sudan grass are featured by a high genetic yielding potential (on average 94.4-108.0 t/ha) and satisfactory nutritional value of fodder. The biomass of Sorghum and Sudan grass is of good quality, whereas NS-Srem and Sweet Sioux are highly rich in raw proteins, 10.45 and 10.27, respectively. Since the green forage, silage can be grown in different conditions and sowing dates and used in various ways, their good and sustainable production, particularly in dry conditions, can remarkably promote cattle production.
