Some attack the leaves, thus reducing the forage value and potential for high grain yields. Some cause root and stalk rots, resulting in lodging, poor head and seed development, and premature ripening. Losses from these diseases . . . → Read More: Disease Control For Sorghum Seed Crops Site selection: Sorghum is suited to a wide range of soil types, from light loams to heavy clay soils.

In selecting a site for sorghum that is expected to ensure a very . . . → Read More: Recommended Seed Crop Production Practices For Sorghum In a natural ecosystem, crawfish eat a variety of plants and animals. Crawfish prefer aquatic invertebrates but will feed on detritus and growing vegetation. Detritus, or decomposing organic material, is the base of the complex, self-sustaining food system required in crawfish culture (Fig. 2). As organic matter decomposes, it becomes coated with bacteria, other . . . → Read More: Using A Natural Ecosystem In Crawfish Ponds Sorghum KEY POINTS Summer fodder crops are a viable feed source on wet areas and in wet summers. Soil temperatures must reach 14 to 19°C for germination, depending on species. There are some possible health problems with sheep grazing sorghum.
