Variety traits
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor
The vegetation period of grain sorghum covers the time from full emergence to the onset of biological grain maturity and is classified by duration into early-maturing (76–105 days), mid-maturing (106–120 days), and late-maturing varieties (120–130 days or more).
In the reference 20 varieties crop Sorghum, where this is mentioned in the description.
The duration of the vegetation period of grain sorghum directly depends on the sum of accumulated mean daily active temperatures and is a key factor when selecting a variety for a specific climatic zone. A mismatch between the maturity group and the region's heat availability leads to grain failing to ripen and a decrease in yield potential.
In agronomy, this period determines the schedule for fertilization and irrigation, as the crop has maximum requirements for nitrogen, phosphorus, and moisture 10–15 days before panicle emergence and 10–15 days after flowering. Sorghum possesses a unique ability to adapt its vegetation duration under extreme temperatures, which allows it to be used as a catch crop.
