OAR@ICRISATA Research and Network Strategy for Sustainable Sorghum and Pearl Millet Production Systems for Latin America Proceedings of the WorkshopB V SReddyauthorHCeballosauthorROrtizauthorThe workshop on a Research and Networ k Strategy for Sustainable Sorghum and Pearl Mi l let product ion systems for Lat in America was attended by 28 scientists f rom four countries in the region — Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela and Honduras — and f rom ICRISAT and CIAT The workshop reviewed the research wor k carried out under the project funded by IDB: project milestones, methodology adapted, and progress made to achieve the milestones; network trials results and status of sorghum and pearl mi l let research in the region. Further, the workshop ident i f ied bottlenecks in returning data, formulated the methods of trials or seed dist r ibut ion, ident i f ied coordinators for each country, and out l ined the research thrusts for further research. These include: extending the research to other zones (fertile areas and drought - prone areas) besides acid savanna soils; enhancing research on pearl mi l let to 30% (sorghum 70%) f rom the present 10%; nutrient uptake efficiency (sorghum); and use of pearl mi l let as soil organic content enricher. This publication contains the presentations made at the meeting and a summary of the recommendations. It thus provides an overview of the current status of the research in the IDB -funded project, and discusses the problems and prospects for sorghum and pearl mi l let production in the region.MilletsSorghum2000International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid TropicsMonograph
