Abstract
Sorghum bicolor (L). Moench is the crop for grain for human and
animal consumption.
The aim of this study is to document the production and use
Sorghum in Senegal through a literature review.
Medline database and scholar Google were used. To be selected,
the manuscripts were to address the use and production of sorghum
and their health implications.
World sorghum production is about 60 million tons per year; the
main producing countries are the USA, Nigeria, and India. In Senegal
there is on the one hand of traditional sorghum varieties and on the
other, those improved by the Senegalese Institute of Agricultural
Research (ISRA) that are adapted to our soil and productive. Sorghum
grains are used by people in semi-arid countries in Africa and Asia,
for consumption as pasta, boiled and traditional drinks. Studies have
shown the virtues of this cereal on the health of men, hence the need
for further studies to be eligible for any of the therapeutic potential
of the latter.
