The national Sorghum Checkoff program and the Plant Management Network are offering three webcasts on sorghum crop management.

The free, public webcasts cover:

• weed management practices
• no-till grain sorghum production, and
• a comparison of sorghum and corn’s profitability, particularly in stress-prone environments.

“These webcasts present useful and important information that is pertinent to the needs and interests of sorghum farmers,” said Bill Kubecka, chairman of the Sorghum Checkoff, and sorghum farmer from Palacios, Texas. “Whether it be utilizing good stewardship practices for the new post-emergent weed and grass control technology, or increasing yields through no-till systems, these webcasts offer something for every sorghum farmer.”

The Plant Management Network is a nonprofit online publisher whose mission is to enhance the health, management, and production of agricultural and horticultural crops. PMN achieves this mission through its applied, science-based resources. PMN is jointly managed by the American Society of Agronomy, American Phytopathological Society, and Crop Science Society of America.
