Forage sorghum is classified as what type of season?

Annual
Permanent
Cool-season
Warm-season

The correct answer is: Warm-season

Forage sorghum is classified as a warm-season plant because it thrives in conditions with high temperatures and requires significant sunlight for optimal growth. This type of grass is typically planted in spring when the soil temperature reaches a favorable level, and it grows vigorously throughout the summer months. The warm-season classification indicates that these plants are well-adapted to the higher temperature ranges typically found during this time of year, allowing them to maximize photosynthesis and biomass production. In contrast, annual plants complete their life cycle within one growing season, while permanent plants remain in place for multiple years, and cool-season plants tend to thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. These distinctions highlight the specific environmental conditions that forage sorghum requires for successful growth and productivity.
