The new variety of sorghum Matinal was developed in the Culiacán Valley Experimental Field (CEVACU) of INIFAP and with the number 2402-SOG-227-111012 in the National Catalogue of Plant Varieties. This variety fits the sorghum producing areas of Sinaloa. Matinal is a variety of early growing season, grain or cream amber and is recommended for irrigated and rainfed conditions. The average yield is 2 850 kg ha-1 of grain and 21 900 kg ha-1 of green fodder, passing the average of 3% and 9.5% respectively, the yield of commercial hybrids of private companies, which are grown in the region under the same rainfed conditions. Matinal has an acceptable bromatological quality as the commercial hybrids in forage with 6.91% and 74.58% protein digestibility, competing favorably with the control with 7.5% and 66% respectively is tolerant field diseases that occur in the region, such as: ergot (Claviceps africana), anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola), head blight (Fusarium moniliforme) and Charcoal rot (Macrophomina phaseolina). Furthermore, Matinal presented a grain size of 4.4, 4.2 and 2.8 mm in length, width and thickness, respectively, and chemical composition of protein, lipid, ash and carbohydrates 13.9, 4.1, 1.8 and 80.2%, respectively, so Matinal is proposed as a new potential for cultivation in the state of Sinaloa variety.
