Sorghum × drummondii (Sudan grass), is a hybrid-derived species of grass raised for forage and grain, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Eastern Africa. It may also be known as Sorghum bicolor × Sorghum arundinaceum after its parents. Some authorities consider all three species to be subspecies under S. bicolor.[2]
The plant is cultivated in Southern Europe, South America, Central America, North America and Southern Asia, for forage or as a cover crop.[1] When treated as a weed, it is known as shattercane.[3] It is distinguished from the grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) by the grain (caryopsis) not being exposed at maturity.[citation needed]
