When is the best time to harvest sorghum?

Sorghum is one of the important grain crops in my country. This plant is warm-loving and light-loving. The temperature required during the plant's growth period is higher than that of corn, but it is more susceptible to early frost.

Sorghum matures

The growing period of sorghum is about 100 days. As the saying goes, "The sickle sounds three days after the beginning of autumn." This is the maturity time of millet. The maturity time of sorghum is generally about a week later than that of millet.

Sorghum harvest

The best time to harvest sorghum is generally around September 20, which is the end of the waxy stage. At this time, the dry matter in the grains has reached its peak, and this is the best time to harvest.

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.

The per-acre yield of sorghum is not fixed. It will be affected by many factors such as variety, climate, and management methods. The normal per-acre yield is around 700-900 jin. If the yield is particularly good, it can reach around 1,000 jin.
