What about sorghum lodging?

Sorghum is an annual herb of Gramineae. Sorghum is mainly used for brewing wine. In fact, it is also processed into sorghum rice in many areas. Of course, it can also be used to make noodles, alcohol, sugar, etc. It is rich in protein, amino acids, and other trace elements. And sorghum it resistance is very strong, suitable for planting in all parts of our country. When planting, what about sorghum lodging? Let's analyze it together.

1. Reasons

There are many reasons for sorghum lodging, so we need to fundamentally consider the reasons for its lodging when solving the problem, and then make a decision. First of all, the row spacing and plant spacing are not reasonable, too dense or too sparse, which may lead to lodging of sorghum. The second is that the planting land is not selected correctly, the field management is not handled well, and finally the external wind force is the cause of sorghum lodging.

2. Symptoms

Sorghum lodging symptoms will also appear according to its lodging different causes of performance has a slight difference. If it is caused by insufficient nutrients sorghum lodging phenomenon, it is generally thin, and stems and leaves will appear yellow phenomenon. If the density of planting is not scientific, then we can see it with the naked eye, so we must prepare for timely protection. If the soil is not properly selected, it will show up after planting, the growth rate is very slow, and the sorghum stem is very thin. Finally, when the wind comes, if the wind is large, then its lodging is more regular.

3. Prevention and control methods

Sorghum lodging caused by different reasons, their control methods are also different. Generally speaking, if the land selection is improper, then we need to use the soil and fertilizer improvement method to achieve suitable conditions for sorghum growth. If the planting density is unreasonable, then we can properly trim some branches and leaves to maintain good ventilation and light transmission, or plan the density reasonably before planting. There is also a reasonable control of water and fertilizer after planting, which can enhance the resistance of sorghum plants and avoid lodging.

4. Effects on sorghum

Sorghum's resistance was relatively good, and it was easy to plant. It only needed a little management, and its yield was also very good. Lodging in the process of planting sorghum, sorghum impact is also relatively large, and different growth periods caused by the loss is also different. Lodging rarely occurs at the seedling stage of sorghum, so it has little effect; lodging occurs at the jointing stage of sorghum, which will affect the growth of sorghum and prolong the growth cycle of sorghum, even no harvest; if lodging occurs after heading, it will seriously affect the yield and quality of sorghum.

That's all I want to share with you today. From sorghum lodging reasons, lodging symptoms, etc. to simply understand the next sorghum lodging solutions and prevention work, I hope to help everyone.
