HARVEST

OBJECTIVE: When the grains are mature, the leaves stay green

  • The maturity of the sorghum is achieved when grains humidity is 30% (wet grain use) with norm at 16%
  • Cut as high as possible panicles (harvest only panicle)
  • For late harvest, do not delay more risk of re-humidification of grains and decreasing of quality
  • Do not harvest stem or leaves with increasing of grain humidity and slow harvest
  • Possibility to use defoliant, but not an accelerator of maturity only to destroy leaves.
