Adjusting to earlier planting dates for sorghum could help growers get the crop emerged and cut before potential sugarcane aphid damage is heaviest, says Texas A&M AgriLife Extension entomologist Ed Bynum.

With severe grass and broadleaf weed pressure looking likely this year, good crop rotation and herbicide selection are essential components of managing weeds in grain sorghum, say experts at Kansas State University Extension.

A grain sorghum variety trial was initiated at the High Plains Agricultural Laboratory to identify early maturing grain sorghum cultivars with reliably high yield potential in the high plains ecoregion of western Nebraska.

Kansas State University crop entomologist Jeff Whitworth is back to respond to a multitude of questions he's been getting about late-season insect problems in grain sorghum, and the best strategies for contending with them...most notably, sugarcane aphids and the sorghum headworm.

What should the burndown strategy be for crops that are to be planted soon? University of Tennessee shares some options for corn, grain sorghum and soybeans.

Kansas State University crop nutrient specialist Dave Mengel talks about starter fertilizer strategies for corn and grain sorghum, based on soil test results ahead of planting. He also discusses nutrient rates and placement factors for growers to consider.

In theory, grain sorghum should yield just as much as corn in Kansas, given the same amount of fertilizer and with substantially less water, according to Kansas State University agronomist Tesfaye Tesso.
