Abstract

Zerazera sorghums are distributed in Sudan and Ethiopia. Because of their agronomic eliteness zerazera sorghums are used extensively in several sorghum improvement programs in India and elsewhere. Extensive collections of zerazeras were made in Sudan and Ethiopia by ICRISAT in 1979 and 1981 respectively. Morphological affinity, geographic distribution and the ethnic association of the Sudan and Ethiopian zerazeras suggest that zerazera sorghums were introduced from Sudan into the Gambella area of Ethiopia. Inspite of slight differences, zerazera sorghums from Sudan and Ethiopia can be grouped as subrace Zerazera under race Caudatum.
