Variety traits
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor
Plant height is a key morphological parameter of grain sorghum that determines its suitability for mechanized harvesting and lodging resistance.
In the reference 47 varieties crop Sorghum, where this is mentioned in the description.
Plant height measurement in grain sorghum is conducted from the soil surface to the tip of the panicle. For this crop, a classification has been adopted where forms with a height of 90–150 cm are considered short-stature, while higher values are typical for silage and sweet sorghum varieties.
This parameter is critically important for cultivation efficiency: plants up to 150 cm tall allow for mechanized harvesting with grain combines. Grain sorghum breeding is aimed at developing short-stature yet high-yielding hybrids, as excessive vegetative mass reduces the efficiency of resource utilization for grain development and increases the risk of lodging.
