the sorghum plant Sorghum belongs to the grass family, Graminea. It is essential that producers know the crop they are cultivating in order to develop the most effective production practices. Root system The roots o f the sorghum plant can be divided into a primary and secondary root system.

The criteria used to select the effective tillage machine are reported to include infiltration rate, soil moisture storage, precipitation efficiency and crop yield and yield components. ...
Grain sorghum can be harvested with a grain header (rigid cutterbar), preferably with guard extensions (Figure 81). Typically, guard extensions are attached to every other guard in standing grain sorghum. Guard extensions provide support to guide more heads into the header in order to reduce gathering loss.
Sudan grass (Sorghum × drummondii) Sudan grass is used as a fodder, grazed or cut for fresh cutandcarry, or for wilting, ensiling or drying. It is very palatable to cattle, sheep and goats ( FAO, 2009 ). It is easy to dry and it makes good quality hay because of its slender culms.
Normally, plants reduce nitrates to ammonium ions and then assimilate them into amino acids and other pro teins. This process, called nitrate reductase, occurs in the roots of some grasses such as bermudagrass, and in the leaves, stems and stalks of plants such as corn or sorghum.
Ammonia and urea are sources of nonprotein nitrogen used to increase the crude protein concentrations of corn, forage sorghum, and other silages that are low in protein. Adding 5–10 lb of anhydrous ammonia/ton or 10–20 lb of urea/ton can increase crude protein .
Two Forage Sorghum cultivars (Abu sabein and Pioneer) were used in the experiments. A split plot design with three replications was used in the experiments. The main plots consisted of the cultivars whereas, the sub plots consisted the different dozes of the chicken manure.
Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world and is used for food, fodder and production of alcoholic beverages. Being drought and heat tolerant (more than corn, soybeans and wheat), it is especially important in arid regions of the world. Overall it is an important food crop in Africa, Central America and South Asia.
Foragetype sorghum plants are larger, leafier, and mature later than grain sorghum plants. Compared with sorghumsudangrass hybrids, they are shorter, less drought tolerant, and don't regrow as well. Still, forage sorghums as well as most forms of sudangrass can be used in the same covercropping roles as sorghumsudangrass hybrids.
Sorghum: Postharvest Operations Page 2 Sorghums have a structure which is broadly similar to that of other cereals (Figure 1). The major components of the grain are the pericarp (outer covering), the testa between pericarp and endosperm (which may or may not be present), the endosperm, and the embryo.
In Africa and parts of Asia, sorghum is primarily a human food product, while in the United States it is used mainly for livestock feed and in a growing number of ethanol plants. However, the United States also has seen food usage on the rise, thanks to the glutenfree .
At Willsboro and Chazy, sorghum sudangrass had 2 cuts for all four planting dates. Moisture content of corn at harvest averaged 70%, 77%, 79% and 82% for the four planting dates. Silage yield and Milk yield per acre are very similar, although the higher quality of .
Sorghum Sudan Grass Seed (Sugar Grazer II) is a smallseeded, palatable threeway cross that can be used for cattle grazing or hay production. Sugar Grazer is a thin stemmed Sorghum seed variety, allowing for faster drydown for highquality hay production.
Brown midrib sorghum sudangrass should be chopped between ¾1 inch for bunker silos and slightly longer for upright silos and baggers to ensure effective fiber content. The final deciding factor of whether to plant an alternative forage crop may be the yield and progress of other crops.
Sweet Sorghum 3. Broom Sorghum 4. Grass Sorghum. Grain sorghum is mainly used as a principal food in tropical areas and often used as raw materials for alcoholic beverages, sweets and glucose. Broom sorghum is used as a material to make brooms, while sweet sorghum is .
SorghumSudan Hybrids or Sudax resemble sudangrass but are taller, have larger stems and leaves, and give higher yields. ... Plant sudangrass, sorghumsudangrass hybrids, and millets 1 inch deep in medium to heavy soils and 1 1/2 inches deep on sandy soils. ... at planting to insure establishment and stimulate plant development. Use the low ...
Sorghum: Production, Processing, Marketing and Utilization. It is widely consumed by most s, especially in the north, and it is used by breweries for producing beverages. Sorghum is important for s in the north, particularly the border markets where it is heavily traded with Niger.
sorghum plants during various stages of development in the process of producing 7,500 pounds of 14 percent moisture grain per acre. The amounts of secondary and micronutrients used to produce 7,500 pounds of grain per acre are shown in Table 5. Nutrient distribution in dry matter between grain and stover is presented in Table 6.
Piper Americano : Piper Sudangrass is an improved variety of sudangrass, it has finer stems and leaves than SorghumSudan hybrid. Because of the smaller stems, it dries faster than Sorghum Sudan, if cut for hay. Piper Sudan is atrazine tolerant.
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench] is an indigenous crop to Africa, and though commercial needs and uses may change over time, sorghum will remain a basic staple food for many rural communities.
The availability of harvesting equipment and the immediate need for forage will help you to decide between SorghumSudan grass and other annual forages. Harvesting. The first cut will be ready for harvest about 60 days from planting. The plants should be over 65 cm (26 inches) in height, and just before head emergence when cut (usually early August).
Many insect pests of grain sorghum also feed on forage sorghums, sorghumsudan hybrids, and millets harvested as hay, forage, or silage. However, not all insecticides labeled for grain sorghum are also labeled for forage sorghum. Read the label to determine if the insecticide can be used on sorghums and millet grown for hay, fodder, or silage.
With the quick emergence and growth of sudan/sorghum forages, herbicides are not usually needed. Rowed sudan/sorghum crops can be cultivated if needed. Atrazine can be used to control annual grass and broadleaf weeds in forage sorghum and sorghumsudan hybrids as .
