Sweet Sorghum

A Smart, Multipurpose crop

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discover the agricultural marvel of sweet sorghum, a C4 species plant characterised by its wide, flat leaves and distinctive round or elliptical head. Unlike its counterpart, grain sorghum, sweet sorghum stands out with its juice-rich sweet stalk, reaching towering heights of up to 4 meters. Originating in Northeast Africa, this resilient crop has proven its adaptability by thriving wherever grain sorghum is cultivated. Particularly suited for semiarid tropics and tough dry land growing areas, sweet sorghum offers a sustainable lifeline where other crops struggle to survive. During dry periods, it enters dormancy, conserving energy until moisture levels return, showcasing its remarkable resilience. Referred to as the "sugarcane of the desert," sweet sorghum symbolises nature's ingenuity, presenting a multipurpose solution with the potential to transform landscapes and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for agriculture.
