Overview
Publication Information
Iron is essential in grain sorghum for its role in metabolic processes, particularly in supporting enzymatic functions during photosynthesis and respiration. Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) can limit grain sorghum yields in high-pH soils, and soil testing is essential to determine the correct soil fertilizer levels for treatment. Frequent field scouting, timely application of foliar sprays, and selecting resistant sorghum hybrids are key to preventing yield loss due to IDC.
