Which soil is suitable for sorghum cultivation?

Sorghum is grown on low potential, shallow soils with high clay content, which usually are not suitable for the production of maize. Sorghum grows poorly on sandy soils, except where a heavily textured sub soil is present. Sorghum is more tolerant of alkaline salts than other grain crops and can be successfully cultivated on soil with a pH level between 5.5 to 8.5. It can tolerate short periods of water logging compared with maize. Soils with a clay percentage of between 10 % and 30% are optimal for sorghum farming.
