abstract: Global production of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is currently estimated
at 57.6 million tons, with Asian countries contributing 20% of this total [FAOSTAT
2002−04 (ave.)]. Within Asia, India is the largest producer of sorghum, producing
7.3 million t. Sorghum in India is grown in the rainy-season (June-October) and
in the postrainy season (September-January). Rainy-season sorghum accounts
for about 60% of total sorghum production (CMIE 2004). Resource-poor, smallscale
producers in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) with less than one-hectare land grow
sorghum, to meet household requirements of food and fodder. Thus, sorghum is
an important food security crop in a wide range of marginal areas in India. The
importance of the crop is enhanced due to its stover, which is an important source of
dry fodder for draft and dairy animals (Kelley et al. 1993, Kelley and Parthasarathy
Rao 1994, Hall and Yoganand 2000).
