How to CUT SORGHUM for maximum BIOMASS PRODUCTION

[@dystopiagear6999]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the importance of sharpening your cutting tools.

[@AgroforestryAcademy]

Cheers! In a few weeks we'll be releasing a video on tools maintenance!

@@AgroforestryAcademy i was just going to ask if you would make a video on machete sharpening! it would be great to see the tools and the technique! awesome video as always! you guys have the best content on youtube! aloha

@@surfingtoys1 Sounds like a good idea! Will try to make one soon

I lové sorghum too here in tahiti

Excellent post thanks just planted some. This vid comes in quite handy.

[@nennen2007]

Thanks a lot. How do you plant the seed of the sorghum. I see you have clumps of sorghum. Do you put more seeds in one hole or do you plant one seed in a hole and the clump is forming by pruning and reshooting?

[@AgroforestryAcademy]

The will clump up naturally, but you can plant 3 seeds in each hole or sow them in line, 10-15 seeds per meter. It'll depend on what sort of companion plants you have around

[@jakesgrobler1634]

Please make a video on how you use prickly pears, i see you plant it a lot.

[@AgroforestryAcademy]

Will do!

Great vid. Is it sorghum or sudanxsorghum. If sorghum bicolor would you use hybrid seed? We are just emerging with first cut of black oats after the winter. Strangely the sudanx we used last winter even in frosty zones shows signs of coming up again after winter however looks like a bad influence just hanging in there.Nevertheless it was quite a workhorse thru summer with about 4 cuts around a meter each and yes we had some massive OP sweetcorn amongst it too. Good korero on the Patreon too. Nga mihi k

Sorghum bicolor. I wouldn't use hybrid seeds because it would ruin them point of reusing my own seeds. If I was using sorghum as a commercial crop or as the main crop for producing my animal feed I'd consider using high production hybrid varieties. This is great information that the sudan is coming back after frosts. If it comes back healthy, you'll get another 4 cuts this summer =) Cheers!

I planted some castor beans after seeing them in your agroforest but people have been warning me they are very weeding and invasive. Has that been a problem for you?

[@AgroforestryAcademy]

The plants which have invasive potential are the best, because they are the ones who manage to produce huge amounts of organic matter and improve current soil conditions. There’ll be weeds, whether we like it or not. We might as well choose the weeds we want to manage =)

En ganaderia regenerativa han incorporado el concepto de punto optimo de reposo o el momento ideal para el pastoreo (corte o aprovechamiento). En este video se recomienda identificar cual es la altura del meristemo de la especie a cortar para permitir el continuo crecimiento del pasto y cortar o aprovechar de manera que no se detenga su capacidad de regeneracion, se los recomiendo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmaQoGaOet6ffKM
