With adequate moisture sorghum sudangrass can still be established.
This spring’s wet weather delayed planting of some of our May forages. Combined with a cool June that kept soil temperatures below optimal for many warm-season annual grasses, there have been some questions about late-planting options for forage crops.
The success of early-planted warm-season annual grasses (sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass, millet, and teff) is typically determined by soil temperature, and soils should be above 60-65* F before you begin planting. Later in the summer, establishment success is more moisture-dependent. Yields can also be reduced for late-planted crops, since they’ll have . . .
