How to Select Healthy Grain Sorghum？

When selecting grain sorghum, look for vibrant, green leaves without any brown spots or yellowing, which indicates good health. Ensure no visible pests like aphids or mites are on the plant. Inspect the stems to be strong and sturdy, showing no signs of wilting. Healthy roots should be white or light tan and free from rot or disease. Check for overall vigor, with the plant having a robust and upright appearance. Avoid plants with a musty smell, as this could indicate fungal issues.
