About this variety
CSH 30 (breeding code SPH 1655) is a single-cross kharif grain hybrid released in 2012 through the All India Coordinated Research Project on Sorghum, developed at the Directorate of Sorghum Research (DSR), Hyderabad — the institute later renamed ICAR-IIMR in 2014. Its female parent, 415A, was itself bred using a grain-mould-resistant genetic stock (IS 25017), and its male parent, CB 33, carries a grain-mould-tolerant line (GMRP 13) — giving the hybrid a grain-mould-tolerance-focused breeding background. AICRP trial data record it as resistant to lodging and non-shattering.

Things to consider
- Corrected 2026-08-15: ICAR-IIMR's own AICRP trial record (a directly-fetched millets.res.in PDF, notified S.O. 952(E) 10.04.2013) lists CSH 30's grain yield potential at 43 q/ha, well above this record's old "25–30 q/ha" yieldPotential — yieldPotential corrected to "40–43 q/ha".
- Corrected 2026-08-15: the same primary trial record lists the officially recommended area as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, South Gujarat and North Andhra Pradesh (under rainfed kharif cultivation) — states corrected to add Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
- The primary AICRP source documents grain-mould-tolerant breeding lineage and lodging/shattering resistance, but does not explicitly rate shoot-fly tolerance for CSH 30 specifically — this record's existing "Moderate tolerance to shoot fly and grain mould" diseaseResistance wording is left as the working reference since it was not directly contradicted, only partially unconfirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Who released CSH 30 and when?
The Directorate of Sorghum Research (DSR), Hyderabad, released it in 2012 through the All India Coordinated Research Project on Sorghum, formally notified in 2013. DSR was renamed ICAR-IIMR in 2014, so the two names refer to the same institute at different points in time.
What is the parentage of CSH 30?
It is a single-cross hybrid between female line 415A (itself bred from a grain-mould-resistant genetic stock) and male line CB 33 (carrying a grain-mould-tolerant breeding line).
What yield does CSH 30 achieve in official trials?
ICAR-IIMR's own AICRP trial data record grain yield of 43 q/ha with 140 q/ha of fodder yield — this record's yieldPotential field was corrected to "40–43 q/ha" to reflect it.
Which states is CSH 30 officially recommended for?
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, South Gujarat and North Andhra Pradesh under rainfed kharif cultivation, per ICAR-IIMR's own AICRP record — this record's states field was corrected to include all five.
Is CSH 30 resistant to lodging?
Yes — the official AICRP trial record describes it as resistant to lodging and non-shattering, useful traits for standing crop and harvest-loss reduction.
