Sorghum Bicolor
Sorghum bicolor is a species of grass native to Africa and widely cultivated for its grain and forage. It is a drought-resistant crop, making it suitable for arid regions. The plant can grow up to 3-4 meters tall and produces large seed heads that contain small, round grains. These grains are rich in carbohydrates and can be used for food, animal feed, and biofuel.
In addition to its agricultural uses, Sorghum bicolor is also valued for its ability to improve soil health and prevent erosion. The plant's deep root system helps retain moisture and nutrients in the soil, making it beneficial for sustainable farming practices.
