Grain Sorghum Planting Tips and Storage Advice
The article outlines planting sorghum in June with Spergon seed treatment to aid germination and planter flow. It compares fertilizer needs to corn, recommends 200 300 pounds per acre of 4 10 7 at or before planting, plus 200 pounds per acre nitrate of soda as a side dress after first cultivation. Following winter legumes, 300 400 pounds of 0 14 10 per acre at or before planting may replace side-dressing. For silage harvest in late dough stage, fodder timing and drying, and storage notes emphasize 12 percent moisture, stirring to cool if heating occurs, and checking for weevil damage in stored grain or heads.
