Variety traits
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
A biological trait of sorghum that determines the ability to form additional shoots from the tillering node. It is expressed as the average number of stalks per plant and is a key element of crop structure, depending on the genotype and plant density.
In the reference 13 varieties crop Sorghum, where this is mentioned in the description.
Sorghum tillering is measured as the average number of stalks per plant. In agronomic studies, a distinction is made between total tillering and productive tillering, which accounts only for those shoots that have formed mature panicles. For typical tillering varieties, having 2 to 4 stalks is considered normal, with average values in variety trials often ranging from 2.7 to 3.5 stalks.
The trait exhibits high plasticity depending on cultivation conditions. As plant density increases, tillering decreases, which promotes more uniform ripening and simplifies mechanical harvesting. For crops used in green forage systems, high tillering is considered an advantage, as it ensures vigorous regrowth after mowing.
