Abstract

Of 1200 germplasm lines and 275 entries from trials screened under natural conditions, 20 sorghums were resistant to Helminthosporium turcicum [Setosphaeria turcica] and Puccinia sorghi, 14 were resistant to P. sorghi alone and 46 were resistant to Sclerospora sorghi. Of an unspecified number of sorghums screened under artificial conditions against fungi causing head mould, including species of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Fusarium, Helminthosporium, Penicillium and Rhizopus, 15 were moderately resistant. All sorghums mentioned above are named
