These photos attached to this article show the resilience of Sorghum to an Army Worm infestation.
The first two photos taken Jan. 19 this year show young Sorghum with badly tattered leaves following an Army Worm attack.
They were planted in trial plots because they are actually new varieties whose adaptability to Philippine conditions was being tested.
After I saw that bad state the plants were in, I actually gave up on them.
Yesterday, exactly a month later, I was shown photos of how the Sorghum looks like.
The photos were solid proofs of the resilience of Sorghum and its almost unbelievable ability to survive even the harshest conditions, including long dry spells.
Sorghum, with a protein content of 11% which is higher than that of Corn, could yet prove to be a boon to our poultry and livestock industry.
