Abstract

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)Moench], is a cereal crop of major economic and social importance, often ranked fifth after wheat, maize, rice and barley. The species is well known for its ability to grow and produce yield under limited soil moisture and high temperature conditions where other crop species fail. This relative tolerance of the species to drought makes sorghum a widely distributed commodity in the semi- arid and subhumid regions of the world.
