Abstract
Sorghum is one of the main staple crops tor the poorest and mosl food insecure people of the world. Elhiopla being Ihe center of origin and diversity for sorghum, the crop has been cultivated for many thousand years, in order to quantify socioecotype differentiation, varietal mixture, and selection efficiency, both survey research and field experiments were undertaken. Sorghum is found to be widely grown in the study area and adaptively differentiated into races, ecotypes, and varieties. The typical Durra race is tbund in the lowlands; Durra. Durra-Caudatum, and Caudatum are found in the intermediate altitude and Bicolor-Caudatum.
