grain sorghum herbicides Drought-tolerant Grain Sorghum for Wildlife Habitat – Hale Habitat & SeedGrain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought tolerant, warm season cereal grain grown primarily for grain production, but it also serves as an important wildlife food source. Its seeds are highly nutritious and attractive to various wildlife species such as deer, turkeys, and small mammals. Grain sorghum is often planted in wildlife food plots because it provides high energy grain and cover during winter months. Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought-tolerant, warm-season cereal grain grown primarily for grain production, but it also serves as an important wildlife food source. Its seeds are highly nutritious and attractive to various wildlife species such as deer, turkeys, and small mammals. Grain sorghum is often planted in wildlife food plots because it provides high-energy grain and cover during winter months.

Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

Nutritious grain that attracts deer, wild turkeys, pheasants, and small mammals.
Drought-tolerant – ideal for areas with unpredictable rainfall or arid conditions.
✔ Provides winter forage when the seeds ripen and remain standing.
Cover crop – helps with erosion control and provides habitat for small game.
✔ Can be left standing as a food source throughout the winter.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Late Spring to Early Summer (May–June): Grain sorghum is best planted when soil temperatures reach 60–70°F for optimal germination.
    • Avoid planting in cold, wet soils as it may result in poor germination.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • ½ to 1 inch deep for consistent germination and establishment.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 8–10 lbs per acre for a more uniform stand and reduced seed waste.
    • Broadcast: 10–12 lbs per acre, followed by light harrowing or cultipacking to ensure seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 90–120 days from planting to full maturity, with the grain becoming available in 100–120 days.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • High – Grain sorghum is known for its excellent drought resistance due to its deep root system and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Sorghum prefers well-drained soils and may be affected by excessive moisture or waterlogging, especially during germination and early growth stages.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Grain sorghum requires full sun for optimal growth and grain production, and performs poorly in shaded conditions.

Fertilization Guidelines for Grain Sorghum

  • Soil pH: Sorghum prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): Sorghum has moderate nitrogen requirements. Apply 40–60 lbs of nitrogen per acre pre-plant, and additional 30–40 lbs per acre at planting or in a side-dress application after the plant has started growing.
  • Phosphorus (P): Apply 30–50 lbs P₂O₅ per acre before planting if soil tests show phosphorus deficiency.
  • Potassium (K): Apply 50–80 lbs K₂O per acre to support healthy growth and grain production.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting.
  • Apply nitrogen at planting or in split applications during the growing season, with the second application typically occurring when the plant reaches 4–6 inches tall.

Herbicide Use for Grain Sorghum

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is vital in the early stages of sorghum growth to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Sorghum is not particularly aggressive against weeds, especially in the seedling stage.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Herbicides such as Atrazine or Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) can be used for controlling broadleaf weeds and grasses before the sorghum emerges.
    • Post-emergence: Herbicides like 2,4-D or Clethodim can be used to manage broadleaf weeds and grass weeds once the sorghum is established.

Key Considerations:

  • Always follow herbicide labels and use appropriate rates to prevent crop injury.
  • Consider pre-plant incorporation of herbicides to reduce weed competition and ensure sorghum establishment.

Fun Interactive Toy That Works as Advertised
Color: Basic, Color: Basic
I picked this up for my dog and have been pretty happy with it overall. The ball does exactly what it's supposed to do, rolling and bouncing around to keep my dog interested and active. One thing I noticed right away is that it's a little larger than a standard tennis ball, which may be a consideration depending on the size of your dog. For my dog, the size wasn't an issue and actually made it easier to spot during play. The slightly larger size helped keep it from going under our sofa. Recharging is simple. The ball opens easily to access the internal charging components, and I appreciate that the manufacturer included a keyed assembly system. The pieces only fit together the correct way, so there's no guessing when putting it back together after charging. The build quality seems solid, and it has held up well so far. My dog enjoys chasing it around, although like most toys, it doesn't hold his attention forever. Still, it's a nice way to provide some extra stimulation and exercise. Overall, it's a well-designed interactive toy that functions as intended.

Awesome interactive dog toy.
Color: Basic, Color: Basic
This interactive dog toy is larger than the similar, smaller, older dog toys I used to buy. This ball has about a 1/2 inch layer of what feels like tough rubberized foam. The outer shell is stiff, but soft enough for the dogs to sink their teeth into and carry around. I have a small Boston and a medium mixed breed that both enjoyed playing with the toy. It was quick to charge and the battery seems to last a while. It will automatically turn off after some inactivity to save the battery, but will come back to life if it is nudged. Although, after a 30 minute period of inactivity, it will stay off an you have to unscrew the halves to manually turn it back on again. I wish it would just stay in the sleep phase so the dogs can revisit it the next day and trigger it back on again, instead of it turning off completely. Either way, the toy feels solid and is quality material. It has lasted longer than the multiple other smaller interactive balls I have purchased for my dogs in the past. It is good value for the money and I will purchase more so the dogs don't fight over this one. The included instructions are easy to follow, and it comes with a charging cable as well. I recommend.

Poor design and durability
Color: Basic
Product does not stay connected. Very easily comes apart when dog plays with it because he uses his mouth and paws and manages to twist the two halves apart. I want to return it but I do not see that this is an option.

Dog Approved! Not for heavy chewers.
Color: Basic
The puppy loved it. I wish I didn't have to open it to to turn it on/off or charge it but not a big deal. The case is a heavy foam with a fabric overlay so don't leave this toy unsupervised with your dog because if they get tempted to chew, they can certainly rip this thing apart and swallow chunks of it but really you shouldn't leave your dog unsupervised with any electric battery operated toy. The battery life is good, better than some other rechargeable toys we have for her. The motions aren't super awesome but they are enough to entertain the pup for a few when we want a break from getting bombarded to entertain her with regular old dog toys. This thing is cool and the size color, and quality were as expected.

Fun, durable, interactive dog toy
Color: Basic, Color: Basic
My dogs love this ball. It keeps them engaged with how it rolls, vibrates, and moves across the floor. Moves best on hard floors. The ball is very durable and they have not torn or ripped it at all. I really like that it is rechargeable so there are no batteries to replace. Had provided many hours of fun!
