Sorghumhirsen

The species of the genus Sorghum from the family of the sweet grasses is designated as sorghum. Also the spelling of "Sorgum" is occasionally to be found. Economically most important species of this taxon is the carrot millet, which is the most important grain in Africa and is also planted in Southern Europe, Central America and South Asia. It is mainly used for the production of flour and as a feed for livestock and is the grain which in 2010 has the fifth largest cultivation area worldwide - after wheat, maize, rice and barley. Originally from East Africa, it is adapted to a hot and dry climate. Another known species is the sudangrae used mainly as a forage plant, but also as an energy plant. The carrot millet is also used as bird feed.

Als Sorghumhirsen werden die Arten der Gattung Sorghum aus der Familie der Süßgräser bezeichnet. Auch die Schreibweise Sorgum ist gelegentlich anzutreffen. Wirtschaftlich bedeutendste Art dieses Taxons ist die Mohrenhirse, die das wichtigste Getreide in Afrika ist und auch in Südeuropa, Zentralamerika und Südasien angepflanzt wird. Es wird vornehmlich für die Produktion von Mehl und als Futter für Vieh verwendet und ist das Getreide, das 2010 die fünftgrößte Anbaufläche weltweit aufwies – nach Weizen, Mais, Reis und Gerste. Es stammt ursprünglich aus Ostafrika und ist an heißes und trockenes Klima angepasst. Eine weitere bekannte Art ist das vor allem als Futterpflanze, aber auch als Energiepflanze eingesetzte Sudangras. Als Vogelfutter wird ebenfalls die Mohrenhirse verwendet.
