Being a highly nutritious crop rich in carbohydrates, sorghum production quality and quantity is determined by the level of technology used on the farm. As a drought and tolerant crop grown throughout the semi arid area, sorghum is fed to people as food and as stovers to animals and are also used as building materials and cooking materials. The low yields are caused by weeds, drought, insects, missing planting holes and variable planting density.

Crop management

First, sow seed at right spacing and density per hole and make sure seed has high germination and place 5-8  seeds per hole and plant at 20-40 cm between holes and 70cm between rows. Fill gaps in 3 weeks after sowing and observe field.
Similarly, thin planting hills to 2 plants per hill and keep the thinned plants. Select vigorous thinned plants for transplanting and finally transplant 2 plants per hill missing plants.
