Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) belong to gramineae family. Sorghum based on Consumption is divided into several main groups, that Forage sorghum is one of them. As its name comes from forage sorghum is for forage consumption. Forage sorghum plants, mostly perennial with a height of 1/5-4 m, with few tillers and leaves are large and broad. In general, forage sorghum produces 2- 4 cutting per cultivation season. Forage sorghum varieties with high yield potential in Iran weather conditions at 2-3 cutting produces 100 to 150 t/ ha of fresh yield that 20-25% of them are hay. Quality fodder of sorghum forages is higher than the same plants with the overall rate of 9-18% protein. Sorghum well-adapted to the Iran climate, especially hot, dry and temperate conditions. sorghum has relatively good tolerance to soil and water salinity, drought and aluminum toxicity. In this publication, the following information is given: Forage sorghum morphology before flowering time, different ways of forage sorghum consumption, the benefits of forage sorghum production, appropriate areas planted forage sorghum, planting (soil, crop rotation, land preparation, fertilizers, planting date, and density planting and seeding rates), maintenance (irrigation, sorghum weed, pests and diseases control), harvesting and a few important notice.
