СОРИЗ (SORGHUM ORYSOIDUM) – КАК ПЕРСПЕКТИВНАЯ ЗЕРНОВАЯ КУЛЬТУРА ДЛЯ РЕГИОНА ПРИАРАЛЬЯ

The article presents the results of the introduction and agroecological evaluation of Soris (Sorghum orysoidum) as a promising cereal crop under the conditions of water scarcity and soil salinity in the Aral Sea region. The study was conducted in 2025–2026 by the Laboratory of Crop Diversification of the International Innovation Center for the Aral Sea Region under the Central Asian University of Environmental and Climate Change Studies (Green University) at the Samanbay experimental field in the Nukus district. The research assessed the crop’s tolerance to salinity, high temperatures, and water deficit, as well as its growing period, yield components, and biological productivity. The results demonstrated that Soris maintained normal growth under extremely high temperatures of up to 43.7°C with only one irrigation during the growing season. The biological yield reached 41.2 c/ha, while the growing period lasted 99 days. The findings indicate that Soris is a promising alternative to rice for the Aral Sea region due to its low water requirements, high environmental adaptability, and valuable nutritional properties.
