Description

Sorghum is the most important cereal crop grown in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa, Asia, Australia and Americas for food, feed, fodder and fuel.

It is the fifth most important cereal crop globally after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and plays a major role in global food security.

Sorghum is consumed in different forms for various end-uses.

Its grain is mostly used directly for food purposes.

After the release of the proceedings of two international symposia in the form of books “Sorghum in Seventies” and “Sorghum in Eighties”, global sorghum research and development have not been documented at one place.

Of course, few books on sorghum have been released that focus on specific issues/research areas, but comprehensive review of all aspects of recent development in different areas of sorghum science has not been compiled in the form a single book.

This book is intended to fill in a void to bridge the gap by documenting all aspects  of recent research and development in sorghum encompassing all the progress made, milestones achieved across globe in genetic diversity assessment, crop  improvement and production,  strategies for high yield, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, grain and stover quality aspects, storage, nutrition, health and industrial applications, biotechnological applications to increase production, including regional and global policy perspectives and developmental needs.

This book will be an institutional effort to compile all the latest information generated in research and development in sorghum across the globe at one place.
