GRAIN SORGHUM
Champs à renseigner
Texte
Sorghum originates from the African continent, and its genetic code shows high adaptability to the most difficult climatic conditions: tropical heat and low relative humidity, lack of precipitation and unfavorable soil characteristics.
Under the mentioned challenging conditions, sorghum achieves a good grain yield. At extremely high temperatures, it can temporarily stop growth and resume development when optimal conditions are restored, continuing vegetation without consequences. Sorghum grows at temperatures up to 33–34 °C, which is 3–4 °C higher than corn.
Texte
✔ Sorghum is more than 80% autogamous and is less exposed to the influence of high temperatures during self-pollination.
✔ It is short-growing, so there are less harvest residues compared to corn.
✔ Fits well into the crop rotation.
✔ Low inputs: 30% less compared to corn and sunflower.
Texte
✔ Thanks to the small stomata and the wax coating, evaporation is significantly lower compared to corn.
✔ Low tannin content: below 0.14% dry matter.
✔ Low water requirements.
