Expert Response

Hello, 

I am not sure what information would be helpful to add besides the recommendations on your soil test results. As you can see from your soil test results, your plots are low in potassium and you will also need to add nitrogen annually for good plant growth. I listed a couple of links to resources on sorghum below.

Please contact your local MSUE Field Crops Educator, Monica Jean, for further details. She should be able to provide more targeted information.
