Culiacán-09 is an amber-grained variety; it is recommended for irrigation and rainfed conditions; the average yield is 3.92 t ha-1 of grain and 29.6 t ha-1 of fresh forage. Culiacán-09 has better bromatological quality than commercial hybrids in forage, with 7% protein and 77% digestibility, it exceeded commercial hybrids by 26% and 31% on average, respectively. It is tolerant of diseases that are present in the region, such as ergot, anthracnose, panicle blight, and carbonaceous rot of the stem.
