grain sorghum herbicides Drought-tolerant Grain Sorghum for Wildlife Habitat – Hale Habitat & SeedGrain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought tolerant, warm season cereal grain grown primarily for grain production, but it also serves as an important wildlife food source. Its seeds are highly nutritious and attractive to various wildlife species such as deer, turkeys, and small mammals. Grain sorghum is often planted in wildlife food plots because it provides high energy grain and cover during winter months. Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought-tolerant, warm-season cereal grain grown primarily for grain production, but it also serves as an important wildlife food source. Its seeds are highly nutritious and attractive to various wildlife species such as deer, turkeys, and small mammals. Grain sorghum is often planted in wildlife food plots because it provides high-energy grain and cover during winter months.

Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

Nutritious grain that attracts deer, wild turkeys, pheasants, and small mammals.
Drought-tolerant – ideal for areas with unpredictable rainfall or arid conditions.
✔ Provides winter forage when the seeds ripen and remain standing.
Cover crop – helps with erosion control and provides habitat for small game.
✔ Can be left standing as a food source throughout the winter.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Late Spring to Early Summer (May–June): Grain sorghum is best planted when soil temperatures reach 60–70°F for optimal germination.
    • Avoid planting in cold, wet soils as it may result in poor germination.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • ½ to 1 inch deep for consistent germination and establishment.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 8–10 lbs per acre for a more uniform stand and reduced seed waste.
    • Broadcast: 10–12 lbs per acre, followed by light harrowing or cultipacking to ensure seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 90–120 days from planting to full maturity, with the grain becoming available in 100–120 days.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • High – Grain sorghum is known for its excellent drought resistance due to its deep root system and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Sorghum prefers well-drained soils and may be affected by excessive moisture or waterlogging, especially during germination and early growth stages.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Grain sorghum requires full sun for optimal growth and grain production, and performs poorly in shaded conditions.

Fertilization Guidelines for Grain Sorghum

  • Soil pH: Sorghum prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): Sorghum has moderate nitrogen requirements. Apply 40–60 lbs of nitrogen per acre pre-plant, and additional 30–40 lbs per acre at planting or in a side-dress application after the plant has started growing.
  • Phosphorus (P): Apply 30–50 lbs P₂O₅ per acre before planting if soil tests show phosphorus deficiency.
  • Potassium (K): Apply 50–80 lbs K₂O per acre to support healthy growth and grain production.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting.
  • Apply nitrogen at planting or in split applications during the growing season, with the second application typically occurring when the plant reaches 4–6 inches tall.

Herbicide Use for Grain Sorghum

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is vital in the early stages of sorghum growth to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Sorghum is not particularly aggressive against weeds, especially in the seedling stage.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Herbicides such as Atrazine or Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) can be used for controlling broadleaf weeds and grasses before the sorghum emerges.
    • Post-emergence: Herbicides like 2,4-D or Clethodim can be used to manage broadleaf weeds and grass weeds once the sorghum is established.

Key Considerations:

  • Always follow herbicide labels and use appropriate rates to prevent crop injury.
  • Consider pre-plant incorporation of herbicides to reduce weed competition and ensure sorghum establishment.

Good Sports Romance
Format: Kindle
Knox is a motor cross racer and Avery is a gymnast. Seems like opposites, right? But there is much more common ground. This couple is fantastic together and love the friends and family vibes. Can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the Holland Brothers series and go back to read Hendrick and Jane’s story.

Holland Brothers Series !!!
Format: Kindle
5/5 ⭐️ 2/5 🌶️ A Holland Brothers Series was exactly what i was hoping for since i read Tempting the Player. Rebecca gave us all exactly what we wanted a Holland brother series and kicked it off with Knox. Knox is the broody, grumpy, closed off, and the 2nd oldest brother who stepped up and held down the fort taking care of the younger brothers after their mom passed and dad stopped coming around but gave up his dreams/ wants in order to do so. With Hendrix, the oldest brother from TTP, back home Knox can go live out his dream as a pro motocross rider. After something goes down between him and his teammate, he’s left without a team and ends up back home and ends up asking the help of a friend of a friend to train him who is Avery. Avery is a college gymnast with two Olympic medals and last season she choked and injured herself before she was able to compete. She’s doesn’t want a distraction but agrees to train Knox which should be easy but it turns out to be anything but that. The banter and argue and then everything changing when his shirt comes off and she spends a little too much time admiring his body in a handstand. These two balanced each other out so well it’s hard to deny even to them. Overall i loved the plot and the character development between these two, the spice, the banter, the nicknames it was all just …..chefs kiss 💋. I cant wait to see which Holland brother Rebecca has in store for us next! 🏍️ Sports Romance 👑 Opposites Attract 🏍️Enemies to Lovers 👑 Train Together 🏍️ Banter 👑 Motorcross x Gymnast 🏍️ Bad Boy x Good Girl

What a Ride!
Format: Kindle
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was intrigued by the blurb, "Mississippi Delta," "haunted by her great grandmother's nanny," and the book was even better than I expected. I laughed out loud, shook my head at the accuracy of the descriptions of Southern culture, and even stopped from time to time to admire sentence structure and vocabulary choices. A satisfying read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys unraveling a mystery with an unsuspecting hero.

Great plots, lovely use of English, lovable characters.
Format: Kindle
This series is a joy to read for lovers of the English language. The characters are interesting and/lovable. My family on my mother’s side lives in Florida and growing up I was certainly subjected to the mores and traditional thinking of the South, which did not help me at all in life, so the exposure to that culture raises an exasperated smile in me. For someone like me who loves to read the fact that the books are longer than normal for cozy books makes me very happy.
