Forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a tall, warm-season grass selected for high vegetative biomass production and strong adaptation to heat and drought. Its vigorous fibrous root system produces large amounts of below-ground carbon and helps stabilize soil aggregates. Rapid canopy development provides strong competition against weeds, while the large amount of residue makes it valuable for increasing soil cover and organic matter. It is particularly suitable for long summer cover-crop windows where maximum biomass production is a primary objective.
