The vegetation period of sorghum is about 120-130 days, and the plant is characterized by cross-pollination.
The main purpose of broom sorghum is the production of brooms and brushes, but its grain in crushed form serves as an excellent concentrated feed for animals. Leaves and stems of the crop are also used in silage, which expands the possibilities of sorghum use in agriculture. Thanks to its unconstraint to soil types, sorghum easily adapts to different growing conditions, which contributes to its popularity among farmers.
Sorghum is widely grown on all continents, and its sown areas are constantly growing, which is related to adaptation to changing climate conditions and improvement of hybrids. In the food industry, sorghum grain is used as a gluten-free product in the form of whole grains, groats, and flour.
