Description

Sorghum is a warm climate, annual grass used for strip grazing, silage and hay, capable of very high yields under the right conditions.

Irrigation is usually essential for best performance.

There are many varieties, hybrids and sub-types - select with care to suit your conditions.

Forage sorghum is largely used as a standing feed or summer fodder crop for beef and dairy but there is also some scope for use in sheep enterprises.

In southern Australia, cool tolerant varieties should be used.

Sorghum should be sown when soil temperature is over 16°C and rising.

This is usually in a short period from early November to mid-December, although relatively frost-free areas may sow from around mid-October or earlier.

Sorghum will often offer a first grazing at around 8-10 weeks after sowing. There is good scope for a second grazing of regrowth or an early autumn silage crop.

Alternatively, the crop may be taken around late summer for one large silage or hay harvest.

Growth rates will rapid decline with the onset of cooler late autumn conditions.
