Sorgum Sudan Grass Seeds, are forage crop seeds.
Sorghum, besides being fifth most important Cereal crop of the world, is also valued for its fodder and stover. Sorghum fodder is suitable for silage and hay making. In India, fodder sorghum is grown in 2.6 m ha mainly in western UP, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Delhi and fulfills over two third of the fodder demand during Kharif season. Forage sorghum plant grows 6 to 12 ft tall and produces more dry matter tonnage than grain sorghum. Sorghum is fast-growing, warm weather annual that can provide plenty of feed in mid-summer during lean period. Sorghum is best suited to warm, fertile soils whereas cool, wet soils limit its growth. The crop tolerates drought relatively well, though adequate fertility and soil moisture maximize sorghum yields. The plant becomes dormant in the absence of adequate water, but it does not wilt readily. Growth resumes when moisture conditions improve.
