Abstract The study covers the behaviour of sorghum crop cultivated under the soil and climatic conditions of Buzias microzone. The soil type on which sorghum was grown was clay soil. To characterize the climatic conditions with the recorded monthly mean temperatures, data obtained from the Buzias Meteorological Station from 2021-2022 were used compared with the multi-year averages. Method of analysis Sorghum nutritional seed results are as follows: dry substance (92.41-90.33 %), crude protein, (10.97-10.10 %), crude cellulose (5.59-5.69 %), fats (4.87-4.66 %), mineral substances (2.19-2.31 %), carbohydrates rate (66.16-66.89 %), energetic value kcal (352.35-349.9 %). While that of humidity is (10.22-11.35 %). The grain yield achieved was between 2000-3500 kg/ha. Vegetation index values were also recorded by NDVI value ranges from -1 to 1 and shows the vigor of the cro, Misiunea Copernicus SENTINEL-2. Values close to 1: the more intense the green, the more vigorous the vegetation and vegetation cover. From a climatic point of view, 2021 was a dry year, with very little rainfall between May and June, which reduced grain production by 50%, although sorghum is a drought-resistant crop.Sorghum for grain is suitable for cultivation on heavy clay and loamy-clay soils, in the conditions of the Buzias area, being also a disease-resistant plant.
