Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is one of the major cereal crops consumed in India after rice (Oryza sativa) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). The crop is primarily produced in Maharashtra and southern states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. These three states together account for close to 80% of the all-India production. Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Rajasthan are the other states producing sorghum. India is the third largest producer of sorghum in the world with 7.15 million tons during 2007 and almost entire production of sorghum (95%) in the country comes from the above regions/states (GOI 2007).
