Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is ranked fifth as a cereal crop after maize, rice, wheat, and barley based on global cultivation area. However, heat drought stresses cause improper fertility restoration inefficient pollination, severely affecting sorghum productivity. The discovery of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) milestone for commercializing hybrids. This study assessed the pollen in ...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is an important food crop for people in semi-arid Africa. The affected by post-flowering drought; therefore, the study was conducted to screen traits contributing drought tolerance using BC2F4 sorghum genotypes stressed and unstressed water conditions a split-plot design. Water stress (0 mm/day) applied at plant maturity water-stressed treatment. genotype S...

Cover crops can improve soil health by maintaining organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) contents, yet their dynamics in relation to crop yield a semi-arid cropping system are poorly understood. The main objective of this study was evaluate the response diverse winter cover species mixture on SOC N fractions relationship with sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–sorg...

Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by juicy stems with high concentrations of fermentable sugars. The genetic basis of these phenotypes is not understood. A sweet sorghum diversity panel (n = 252), consisting of sweet sorghum cultivars (n = 80) and diverse landraces selected for matching plant height and maturity (n = 172), was genotyped and phenotyped in three environ...

Weed suppression is one of the several benefits achieved by soil incorporation of crop residues and such suppression is believed to be allelopathic in nature. The allelopathic potential of different crop residues: viz. sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), brassica (Brassica campestris L.) was evaluated in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and jungle rice (Echinochloa co...

Cereal Chem. 70(2): 179-183 Sorghum grains varying in grain hardness or endosperm texture (soft dispersion in hot water. Parboiled grain with soft endosperm texture and intermediate) and starch composition (nonwaxy and waxy) were contained less dispersible and soluble starch than parboiled grain with parboiled. Whole grain (one volume) and water (three volumes) were intermediate endosperm textu...

Abstract Sorghum has the potential to support diversification efforts and food security. production needs be increased through selection of varieties appropriate cropping systems. Intercropping system is expected able government programs in strengthening national security increasing land-use efficiency. The purpose this study was evaluate growth yield three sorghum intercropped with peanuts det...
