A sweet variety with red seeds.
Description
Sorghum is a 3-meter-tall minor grain crop, often intercropped with upland rice. The grain can be cooked like rice, popped like popcorn, cracked like oats for porridge, malted for beer, or baked like wheat into flatbreads. Sorghum is usually planted at the beginning of the rainy season in Northern Thailand and harvested at the beginning of the dry season (after approximately six months). Sorghum prefers regions with 200-1,250 mm annual rainfall. Adapted to a wide range of soils, a pH of 5.0-8.5 is best if moderately welldrained. While it is well-adapted to areas with low rainfall, high temperatures will not produce a reliable crop.
