When is the right time to sow sorghum?

Sorghum is a gramineous forage grass, which can be sown in spring and autumn. Spring is suitable for sowing in March-April of the lunar calendar. Time should not be too early, so as not to die easily in case of cold current and low temperature. It's not too late to plant in May and June of the lunar calendar in autumn. Otherwise, low temperature will affect the ripening of fruit in the middle and late growth period.

Sorghum sowing method

1. Sorghum is suitable for planting in loose and fertile land. Before planting, loosen the soil and apply base fertilizer. Before sowing, select seeds with full grains and plant them at a certain density. In field management, we should do a good job in thinning seedlings, weeding, watering and fertilizing, and finally pay attention to pest control. 2. Specific practices: Sorghum seeds can be winnowed or screened, and shriveled and diseased seeds are removed, and only large and full seeds are kept. They are exposed to the sun for 2-3 days, and they are planted every once in a while, covered with a thin layer of soil. It can be thinned when it grows to 3-4 leaves, and can be fixed when it grows to 5-6 leaves. Generally, the seedlings are raised 2-3 times.

Sorghum mature harvest

Sorghum will be harvested at different times when sowing. Its growth cycle is about 100 days. If you sow in spring, you will reap in the middle of August in the solar calendar. Its yield per mu is related to planting technology and planting area, generally 700-900 kg.
