description The article presents the main biological and economic merits of grain sorghum. The worldwide dynamics of the sown area of sorghum in recent years and the average yield of sorghum are considered in the work. The sown area of sorghum inRussiaand its distribution throughout federal districts are given in the paper. It has been established that the main producers of sorghum inRussiaare the Privolzhsky (28.5–141.6 thousand hectares) and the Southern Federal (23.8–94.0 thousand ha) Districts. Moreover, 46–69% of the sown area of the sorghum in the Southern Federal District is located in theRostovregion. The main part of the sown area of sorghum in theRostovregion is concentrated in the extremely arid zones (some eastern regions of theRostovregion) or in arid (north-western and north-eastern part of theRostovregion) zones. The article presents new varieties of grain sorghum developed in theAgriculturalResearchCenter“Donskoy”. In the period from 2012 to 2017 there were developed and registered in the State List of Breeding Achievements of RF early-ripening and white-grained sorghum varieties ‘Velikan’, ‘Zernogradskoe88’and ‘Ataman’. They are characterized with high productivity, high qualitative kernels and high adaptability to local conditions.
