7. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Thank you for completing this exercise. Now you may review this Module or select next Module i.e. Module XII from Course contents.

8. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Your answer is not correct. At moisture levels higher than 25 percent, the seeds are too soft to withstand the threshing action. The correct answer is: The ideal moisture content for harvesting grain sorghum is 20%.

9. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Your answer is not correct. If you wait for the grain to dry to 10% moisture content, there will be losses due to birds, insects, mold, and bad weather. The correct answer is: The ideal moisture content for harvesting grain sorghum is 20%.

10. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Your answer is correct. The ideal moisture content for harvesting grain sorghum is 20%.

11. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Your are right. Lodging of sorghum at the time of harvest could be due to stalk rots.

12. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Sorghum Production Practices Module XI Harvesting and Storing of Sorghum Your answer is not correct. Tall plant nature or thin stems or heavy ear-heads by itself may not lead to lodging of the plants unless aided by high winds. The correct answer is: Lodging of sorghum at the time of harvest could be due to stalk rots.
