Abstract:
... Growth in the niche market of popped grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] has increased the demand for grain sorghum lines or hybrids with improved popping quality. While there is a clear morphological difference in kernel morphology between popcorn [Zea mays L. everta] and most other types of corn, most grain sorghum genotypes have kernels with generally similar morphological structure. Th ...

Abstract:
... Domestication and diversification have had profound effects on crop genomes. Originating in Africa and subsequently spreading to different continents, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) has experienced multiple onsets of domestication and intensive breeding selection for various end uses. However, how these processes have shaped sorghum genomes is not fully understood. In the present study, population geno ...
... Throughout the history of sorghum domestication, kernel traits have been subject to extensive selection. Breeding of grain sorghum is highly dependent on kernel morphology, which influences yield and quality. This study examined the genetic variation and architecture of kernel size, shape, and color among two BC₁F₂ subpopulations, H4 and H6, derived from crossing Sorghum bicolor BTx623 and Sorghum ...
... Soil application of herbicides for pre-emergence (PRE) weed control is vital for grain sorghum production. Many soil-applied herbicides can be adsorbed or bound to the soil reducing the amount available for weed control. Extent of adsorption is strongly correlated to soil physical properties of organic matter (SOM) and texture. To overcome adsorption, the rate of herbicide to be applied is depende ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sorghum is an alternative crop where poor soil is a limiting factor for the production of corn. Laboratory measurements of chemical compounds of grains are expensive, time‐consuming predominantly done on powdered samples. Therefore, a rapid and reliable method integrating image processing and machine learning was evaluated for the prediction of total phenolic compounds ( ...
... The objective of this study was to determine the nitrogen-corrected apparent ME (AMEₙ) content of tannin-free red/bronze, white/tan, and US No. 2 varieties of grain sorghum fed to commercial broilers and evaluate its effects on growth performance as an alternative to corn in poultry diets. Nitrogen-corrected apparent ME content of red/bronze, white/tan, and US No. 2 grain sorghum varieties was det ...

Abstract:
... Despite greater drought tolerance, soil water stress and low soil nitrogen (N) are major factors that affect sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) productivity and profitability in dryland environments. The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of available soil water at planting and N fertilizer on grain sorghum yield and net return. The study was conducted near Hays, KS, from Summer 1971 ...

Moench seeds with a multifunctional microbial complex (MC) on the adaptability of its rhizosphere microbiocoenosis and crop yield in steppe conditions. The MC includes a number of bacterial strains (Paenibacillus рolуmуха P, Lelliottia nimipressuralis 32-3, and Agrobacterium radiobacter 204) and an association of endom ...

Abstract:
... Melanaphis sorghi (Theobald) (sorghum aphid), (=Melanaphis sacchari Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an invasive pest of Sorghum bicolor (L.) in North America. Over 19 species of predators and parasitoids have been found to prey on M. sorghi. Natural enemies may reside in vegetation such as sorghum in cultivation (in-season) and persist after harvest (off-season), in Johnson grass (Sorghum hal ...

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season (kharif) of 2019 and 2020 at Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to ascertain the weed-management efficacy of postemergence (PoE) tembotrione and topramezone at 25 days after sowing following pre-emergence (PE) atrazine in the kharif grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Eight treatments (6 he ...

Abstract:
... Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a major dryland crop in the Texas High Plains. Currently, drought and infestation by the sugarcane aphid (SCA, Melanaphis sacchari) are the two major challenges to grain sorghum production in the area. A 2-year field study was conducted to investigate the effect of planting date (PD) and hybrid selection on yield, evapotranspiration (ET), water use efficiency ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a diverse C4 crop used for feed, food and grain- or juice-based bioethanol, with potential for lignocellulosic biofuels. Sorghum is inherently drought tolerant, but it is vulnerable to stalk rots caused by Fusarium thapsinum and Macrophomina phaseolina, especially during water stress. Post-flowering non-senescent lines (Stay-green), associated with drought ...
... Understanding the genetic control and inheritance of grain quality traits is instrumental in facilitating end‐use quality improvement. This study was conducted to identify and map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling protein, starch, and amylose content in grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grown under variable environmental conditions. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population deri ...

Two experiments were established in split-plot designs with fall-winter as the main plot and spring as the subplots. In one experiment, sunflower and triticale were grown in Typic Rhodudalf (TR) soil in fall-winter; in the ...
... In Ethiopia, the use of traditional and improved grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] variety as green forage crop is limited mainly by the large stalk thickness and low nutritive values. An experiment was conducted to explore if forage biomass accumulation and nutritive values could be managed by seeding rates. Two improved dual‐purpose grain sorghum varieties (Melkam and Chelenko), and on ...
... Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a potential crop for organic production that could help meet the demand increase in organic food products and feed grains, but no efforts have been made to improve sorghum breeding tools, techniques, and methods for this cropping system. Based on revelations in other crops, focal traits and their prioritization to optimize sorghum for organic use likely dif ...
... The guava root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne enterolobii) has become one of the greatest enemies of agricultural production as current nematode management methods are not effective against this nematode. Summer cover crops can be an alternative solution for sustainable nematode management as they have a great potential to suppress nematode reproduction in addition to providing other usual benefits.

Abstract:
... Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a common threat to cereal crops in which the grain maturation phase takes place under rainy, moist conditions. Susceptibility to PHS is higher in sorghum genotypes displaying low levels of seed dormancy before harvest maturity. Other attributes such as glume or panicle morphology may also affect susceptibility to PHS. Breeding for resistance to PHS in grain sorghum r ...
