Abstract. The article presents data from testing barley varieties, grain sorghum varieties and hybrids in the Orenburg Cis-Urals. The yield of the Orenburgsky Sovmestny, Pervotselinnik, T-12, and Miar barley varieties is studied in the first experiment, and the productivity of the Ataman and Zernogradskoye 88 grain sorghum varieties and Yankee, Albanus, Arski, and Villi hybrids is studied in the second experiment. The soil of the experimental field is represented by southern carbonate low-humus heavy loamy chernozem. In order to determine the adaptability of the varieties and hybrids of the studied crops to the conditions of the region, the crop structure, yield and grain quality were established. The calculation results are analyzed and presented in the form of tables. The yield of the studied barley varieties varies significantly, where its greatest value is noted in the T-12 and Miar varieties. In the second experiment, hybrids of grain sorghum, due to heterosis, formed grain yields higher than varieties by 0.31 t/ha. Among the varieties, the highest yield was formed by the Zernogradskoye 88 variety with a value of 3.33 t/ha, and among the hybrids, the Arsky hybrid was 3.83 t/ha.

Keywords: barley, grain sorghum, varieties, hybrids, crop structure, yield, grain quality
