<h2>OBJECTIVE: Get a good soil structure and a good seed-bed</h2><ul><li style="text-align:justify;">Prefer deep tillage (plowing or tooth tools) for a good roots development</li><li style="text-align:justify;">In superficial soil, possible with a good structure of the soil in Depth. Avoid too superficial soil to optimize the potential of this cereal.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Limit the number of passage to avoid smoothing and compaction of &nbsp;the soil</li><li style="text-align:justify;">A cloddy soil could disrupt seed germination</li><li style="text-align:justify;">In loamy soils, sorghum is very susceptible particularly after planting</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

PREPARE THE SOIL TO GET A GOOD ESTABLISHMENT WITH A FAST EMERGENCE

<h2>OBJECTIVE: Have a good adaption to the parcel</h2><ul><li>Earliness: adapt the choice to the region and to the sowing date. Very early to mid-early grain varieties for early harvest</li><li>&nbsp;Productivity</li><li>Apical sterility tolerance: avoid susceptible varieties</li><li>Dryness tolerance: principally without irrigation</li><li>Susceptibility to macrophomina and fusarium: avoid susceptible varieties</li><li>&nbsp;Lodging resistance</li><li>&nbsp;Early variety in secondary crop</li><li>Poor tannin content since 1980's in Europe</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE VARIETY ACCORDING TO 9 CRITERIA

<h2>OBJECTIVE: The quality of emergence is a key point</h2><ul><li>The sowing depth: Between 2 and 4 cm is a key point for&nbsp; a quick emergence and control the density and a better cover of soil to reduce weeds pressure</li><li>Insure the population, the main yield component</li><li>Planting date (depending on 3 main factors): Soil temperature (&gt;= +12°C), desired flowering depends of climatic area and harvest date</li><li>Density of planting (depending on several factors):</li></ul>o &nbsp; Earliness of the planting: see table of recommendationo &nbsp; Water reserve of the soil: in dry condition, planting with a density may increase competition between plants = macrophomina and rapid exhaustion of soil’s water reserveo &nbsp; Losses during the emergence.To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

SORGHUM GOOD PLANTING

<h2>OBJECTIVE: Sorghum needs a lot of minerals</h2><ul><li>Nitrogen: intake between seedling to 6-8 leaves depending water availability.</li><li>Phosphorus and lye: Make a good assessment of the refunds of previous crops before making these contributions. Give preference to soluble fertilizers and make the best possible intake of the seed. Generally low needs with restitution &gt;70% with the rest of plant after harvest.</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

SORGHUM FERTILISATION

<h2>OBJECTIVE: Prevent weeds development</h2><ul><li>Sorghum planting has to be made on a proper soil</li><li>Against summer grasses (panic, false millet or sorghum of Alep), no chemical solution, only tilling possible</li><li>Quick emergence with good cover of the soil will decrease the development of weeds</li><li>High roots development can reduce herbicide susceptibility with anti-grass products (herbicide with root action)</li><li>Today efficient solution at seedling time with huge efficacy against weeds (seed treated with ConcepIII ® or active ingredients without phytotoxicity risk).</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

SORGHUM WEEDS CONTROL

<h2>OBJECTIVE: Capacity to survive in dryness situations</h2><ul><li>Sorghum is most sensitive to the hydric stress on the period between swelling and flowering which determine the fertility of panicle</li><li>With irrigation system or water reserves, several irrigations could significantly increase the yield</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

6/IRRIGATION AND PRECIPITATIONS

IRRIGATION AND PRECIPITATIONS

<h2>OBJECTIVE: Varieties with good tolerance and good crop management</h2><ul><li>Attack at basis of stem (collet) and roots, important lodging observed with fast drying of the plant and the panicle</li><li>Favorable factors: very hot temperature before flowering time, rapid growth of plants, high density of sowing and high nitrogen level</li><li>Pests of weakness: in risk situations, avoid sowing sensitive varieties, limit the vegetative development of the crop by providing only the necessary nitrogen rate and reduce the sowing densities.</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>

DISEASES (FUSARIUM AND MACROPHOMINA)

<h2>OBJECTIVE: When the grains are mature, the leaves stay green</h2><ul><li>The maturity of the sorghum is achieved when grains humidity is 30% (wet grain use) with norm at 16%</li><li>Cut as high as possible panicles (harvest only panicle)</li><li>For late harvest, do not delay more risk of re-humidification of grains and decreasing of quality</li><li>Do not harvest stem or leaves with increasing of grain humidity and slow harvest</li><li>Possibility to use defoliant, but not an accelerator of maturity only to destroy leaves.</li></ul>To know deeper, download our sorghum brochure: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea.eu.wizyvision.app/domains/3?tags=8&amp;fid=7976">click here</a>
