OBJECTIVE: OBTAIn good soil structure and seed-bed

  • Favour deep tillage (ploughing or tine tools) for good root development.
  • In superficial soil, possible with a good structure of the soil at depth. Avoid soil that is too superficial to optimise the potential of this cereal.
  • Limit the number of passes to avoid smoothing and compaction of  the soil.
  • Cloddy soil could disrupt seed germination.
  • In loamy soils, sorghum is very susceptible particularly after planting.
