When is the right time to harvest sorghum?

The harvesting method of sorghum is relatively simple. You need to cut the stalks of the plants first, then bundle 20-30 plants into bundles, dry them in the sun, and finally thresh them with a thresher.

Sorghum matures

The growing period of sorghum is only about 100 days, and most of them will mature between the Beginning of Autumn and the End of Heat. However, due to the large differences in the sowing period of the plants, the maturity time of sorghum is also different.

Sorghum harvest

Timely harvesting is the key to increasing sorghum production. The best harvesting time is generally around September 20. You can choose the appropriate harvesting method based on the degree of mechanization. After harvesting, the seeds must be dried.

Sorghum Origin and Yield

Sorghum is widely distributed in my country. The main producing areas include Hebei, Shanxi, Sichuan, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Hubei, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Anhui and other provinces, among which the three northeastern provinces have the highest output.

Under different growing environments and management conditions, the per-acre yield of sorghum is also different. The normal per-acre yield is generally around 700-900 jin. If the yield is particularly good, it can reach about 1,000 jin.
