    Abstract

    Recent analyses on the adaptation of sorghum and pearl millet varieties in southern Africa provide scientific justification for strengthening regional collaboration in breeding. Patterns of varietal release in the region led ICRISAT to initiate a statistical analysis of zones of adaptation of sorghum and pearl millet germplasm using a spatial characterization tool and GIS technology. Maps were developed that delineate regional adaptation of sorghum varieties Macia, ICSV 112, sV 3 and SV 4, and pearl millet varieties PMV 3 and Okashana 1. This work is briefly described and related to the efficiency in regional crop improvement strategies.
