Sorghum halepense can be confused with S. arundinaceum , but the latter is annual and never develops underground rhizomes. In addition, S. halepense is more drought and cold tolerant than S. arundinaceum. However, both can be found in the tropics.

Local harmfulness
South Africa: Sorghum halepense can form extensive stands that are difficult to eradicate once established because of its long, deeply buried rhizomes. It crowds out other less vigorous species and competes with agricultural crops.
