Sorghum Longipes

Longipe sorghum, scientifically known as Sorghum longipes, is a unique species of grass native to the savannas of Africa. This plant is distinguished by its elongated, slender stalks and its ability to thrive in arid and semi-arid environments. It has been traditionally used by local communities for both food and medicinal purposes. Its resilience to drought and poor soil conditions makes it an important crop for sustainable agriculture. Despite its potential, Longipe sorghum remains relatively underexplored in modern agricultural research.
