In Mali there are two major types of sorghum production; rainfed and decrue. “Decrue,” “recession” or “post rainy season” sorghum is grown in many locations in the Sahel and refers to sorghum planted in the moist areas along river or lake edges after the floods have receded. The crop receives no further moisture except what is already in the soil.
