Sorghum originated in the heart of Africa and was domesticated around 8000 BCE in Ethiopia and Sudan. It later spread to East and South Africa. Wall paintings and archaeological excavations have provided evidence of the cultivation of sorghum in Egypt in the 7th century BCE.
Sorghum can grow on fertile loams, light sandy and well-aerated clay soils that are clean from weeds. Besides, due to a strong root system, it can produce good yields for a number of years on soil that would be poor and depleted for other crops.
How long does sorghum take to grow?
approximately 40 to 45 days
Grain moisture content typically varies between 25 to 40% depending on sorghum product selection and growing conditions. Total time from flowering to physiological maturity is approximately 40 to 45 days.
