Common name: Sorghum
Scientific name: Sorghum bicolor
Chinese name: 高粱
Taxonomy
Angiosperms/Monocotyledoneae/Gramineae/Sorghum/Sorghum bicolor
Overview
Sorghum has a wide range of adaptability and strong resistance, regardless of plain fertile land, arid hills, barren mountain areas, can be planted. Shanxi Province is one of the main production areas of Gaoliang. Sorghum is a C4 crop, the whole growth period needs sufficient light, any variety can accelerate the development under the short sunshine treatment.
Sorghum is a temperature-sensitive crop, the temperature required during the growth period is higher than corn, and has a certain high temperature tolerance, the whole growth period of the appropriate temperature 20-30 °C. Sorghum is a C4 crop that requires plenty of light throughout its growing season. Drought-resistant, waterlogging-resistant, salt-resistant, barren-resistant, sorghum roots developed, root cells with high osmotic pressure, water absorption from the soil capacity. At the same time, the stem, leaf surface and a layer of white wax, drought can reduce sensitivity.
