Due to the biological characteristics of Sudan grass, tillering does not weaken throughout
the growing season, which is one of the distinguishing properties of this crop in contrast to other
annual fodder grasses.
In addition to the biological peculiarity to tillering, the formation of shoots and their number
are noticeably influenced by environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and applied
agricultural technology, as well as the frequency and height of mowing. Too low mowing, up to 2-4
cm, is undesirable, since Sudan grass stores plastic substances in the tillering node and in the first
internode. Therefore, with low mowing, together with the first internode, the supply of plastic
substances is alienated, which, of course, inhibits subsequent growth. The growth of Sudan grass
can occur in three ways: due to the formation of new shoots from gemma located in the axil of the
leaves of the first internodes preserved after the cut; growth of shoots, the growth point of which
was affected during mowing. Of the three named, the first path should be considered the main one
- shoots arising from the tillering node account for up to 80%. Thus, the productivity of Sudan grass
is significantly influenced by the height of mowing. This issue has not been studied in the
conditions of dry steppe zone of West Kazakhstan. In this regard, we studied the following height
of mowing in cm: 5, 10, 15.
As our research shows, the productivity of Sudan grass at different heights of mowing
depends on the number of shoots with renewal gemma. With an increase in the height of mowing,
the number of shoots having renewal gemma decreases, which also affects the intensity of growth.
In terms of years, the highest productivity of Sudan grass in the studies of cut height was
determined in 2019, and the lowest in 2018. In 1 mowing in productivity, the intermediate position
was occupied by crops of 2020.
In our research, with an increase in the height of mowing, the timing of mowing ripeness
decreased, and the productivity of Sudan grass accordingly decreased. According to research
data, on average for 2018-2020, the maximum yield of the green mass of Sudan grass was
obtained when harvesting at the level of 5 cm 82.88 c/ha. Increasing the height of mowing to 10 cm
reduces the yield of green mass by 14.67% (70.72 c/ha). When harvesting Sudan grass in a 15 cm
mowing mode, the yield of green mass was 57.49 c/ha, which is the minimum of all options
studied.
On average, in 2018-2020, the highest collection of dry mass of Sudan grass is provided
with a green mass mowing height of 5 cm – 18.71 c/ha. When harvesting mowing mass at the level
of 10 and 15 cm, there was a decrease in the collection of dry mass of Sudan grass to 15.99 and
12.94 c/ha.
As energy-protein assessment data show, on average, over 3 years of research in the
relationship of feed value, the most effective was harvesting the draft mass at the level of 5 cm.
when harvesting Sudan grass at the level of 5 cm of mowing mass, 15,34 c/ha of feed units, 1.50
c/ha of digestible protein and 18.67 GJ/ha of exchange energy was obtained, while the supply of
feed units with protein was 97.78 g. When harvesting mowing mass of Sudan grass at the level of
15 cm, a decrease in the productivity of this crop was noted. With this mowing mode, the yield from
1 ha of feed units was 10.63 c/ha, digestible protein 1.05 c/ha at an exchange energy collection of
12.93 GJ/ha. The intermediate position for energy-protein value is occupied by a mowing mode of
10 cm: 13.11 c/ha of feed units, 1.29 digestible protein and 15.96 GJ/ha of exchange energy, while
providing feed units with protein at the level of 98.40 g.
As it is known, aftermathability of Sudan grass is largely determined by the mowing height
of mowing mass. Depending on the cut height, different number of renal renewal gemma remained
not cut into unalienable stems from which new shoots appeared at different rates. Therefore, the
duration of the inter-mowing periods was different. In the research with an increase in the height of
plants cut, the duration of the intermowing period decreased and thus the period of mowing came
earlier. When harvesting at a height of 15 cm, the period of after-grass mowing in 2018-2020,
depending on the conditions of vegetation, came 20-26 days after 1 mowing, at a mode of 10 cm
after 25-30 days, and at the height of 1 mowing at the level of 5 cm, the yield of after-grass came in
35-40 days. This is due to the fact that with an increase in the cut height, renewal gemma of stage-
older ones with a high rate of development and low growth intensity remain on the stems.
As shown by the data of studies of 2018-2020 in the experiments, biometric indicators and
productivity, as well as feed value, depended on the mowing height of Sudan grass in 1 mowing. In
the second mowing, on average, for 3 years of research, the highest after-grass plant formation
was formed during harvesting at the level of 5 cm – 45.50 cm. The lowest plant formation was

obtained during harvesting at the mode of 15 cm – 33.23 cm. The height of Sudan grass after-
grass at the height of 10 cm was 39.04 cm.
The height of grass mowing influenced the leaf content in the crop, in the tilling capacity of
Sudan grass plants.
In the experiments, the highest leaf formation of after-grass was determined during
harvesting in the mowing mode of 5 cm – 42.45%, and the smallest in the mowing mode of 15 cm
– 28.75%. When harvesting mowing mass at the level of 10 cm, leaf formation of after-grass was
37.13%. When harvesting at the level of 5 and 10 cm, Sudan grass plants had tilling capacity of
4.12-4.16 and when raising the mowing height to 15 cm, the number of shoots per 1 plant was at
the level of 4.08 pieces.
On average, for 2018-2020, in the experiments, the preservation of Sudan grass plants
beforeafter-grass mowing was at the level of 73.90-76.52 %.
In 2 mowing, the productivity and feed value of Sudan grass after-grass depended on the
timing of 1 mowing. At the same time, in 2 mowing, the highest productivity was determined on the
crops of Sudan grass in 2019. In 2020, due to dry weather conditions, there was a decrease in the
productivity of Sudan grass.
On average, for 2018-2020, the most productive plant formation with high energy-protein
indices was obtained when harvesting mowing mass in the mowing mode of 5 cm. In this mode,
the collection of green and dry mass was 35.95 and 8.88 c/ha, and the yield of feed units and
digestible protein is at the level of 7.81 and 0.66 c/ha at the collection of exchange energy 9.20
GJ/ha.
Harvesting 1 mowing mass at the height of 15 cm reduced the productivity and fodder value
of Sudan grass in 2 mowing. In this mode, on average for 3 years, the productivity and feed value
of after-grass were minimal and amounted to: 20.18 c/ha green mass, 5.03 c/ha dry mass, 4.43
c/ha feed units, 0.31 c/ha digestible protein and 5.21 GJ/ha exchange energy. The mode of
mowing Sudan grass at the height of 10 cm in terms of after-grass productivity in 2 mowing in
terms of productivity and fodder value occupies an intermediate position.
The total productivity of Sudan grass for 2018-2020 depended on the height of 1 mowing.
At the same time, the highest productivity with high protein collection and exchange energy
was determined during the mowing regime of Sudan grass at the height of 5 cm. Increasing the
mowing height of mowing mass to 10 and 15 cm reduces the productivity and feed value of Sudan
grass plant formation (Table 1).
