Book Description
Corn and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor subsp. bicolor L) are among the top cereal crops world wide, and both are key for global food security. Similarities between the two crops, particularly their adaptation for warm-season grain production, pose an opportunity for comparisons to inform appropriate cropping decisions. This book provides a comprehensive review of the similarities and differences between corn and grain sorghum. It compares corn and sorghum crops in areas such as morphology, physiology, phenology, yield, resource use and efficiency, and impact of both crops in different cropping systems. Producers, researchers and extension agents in search of reliable scientific information will find this in-depth comparison of crops with potential fit in dryland and irrigations cropping systems particularly valuable. - Presents a wide range of points of comparison - Offers important insights for crop decision making
Ratoon Cropping of Sorghum for Grain in the Southeastern United States

Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Insects pests may limit the production of sorghum grain in ratoon cropping systems in the southeastern United States. Early planting dates required in ratoon cropping systems help avoid high and potentially damaging populations of most key pests before the first grain harvest. However, greenbugs (Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) and other aphids could cause economic damage to the first crop. Greater insect pest problems are likely to occur on the second (ratoon) crop than the first crop. Key pests which may reach damaging levels on the ratoon crop include the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), corn earworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie)), sorghum webworm (Celama sorghiella (Riley)), and sorghum midge (Contarinia sorghicola (Coquilett)). Use of resitant hybrids, cultural practices, and natural suppressive agents is encouraged to help control populations of key pests whenever possible. Selective insecticide use should be based on careful evaluation of numbers of pest and beneficial insects, plant development, weather, and economic factors.
Increasing Value of Corn Silage in Corn-triticale System by Intercropping with Forage Soybean

Book Description
Intercropping is an old and commonly used agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time. Double cropping is when two crops are planted sequentially in one year. Double cropping corn-triticale rotation for silage is a common practice in the Columbia Basin and in the Treasure Valley of Idaho and Oregon as it increases the amount of feed that can be grown for dairy cows. Double cropping provides protection of the soil from wind and water erosion during the winter months and additional organic matter to the soil via root degradation. Double cropping will also enhance intercropping of corn and soybean as the later planting will increase soybean competition in the intercrop mixture with corn. The most common advantage of intercropping is the greater yield on a given piece of land by making efficient use of the available resources. Moreover, intercropping with legumes improves soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, increases soil conservation, and provides better lodging resistance for crops susceptible to lodging. Intercropping provides financial stability, especially during extreme weather conditions such as drought, and makes the system particularly suitable for labor-intensive small farms. In addition, intercropping minimizes agriculture's environmental influences and reduces fertilizer and pesticide application requirements. However, there are some disadvantages with intercropping, such as the selection of the appropriate crop species, sowing densities, crop management, and harvest.
