EXAMINING THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF SORGHUM (Sorghum Bicolor [L.] Moench): AN ANALYSIS OF THE WEST SAHEL OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Sorghum is the fifth most produced crop worldwide, yet despite its exceptional advantages over other major cereals, its inferior reputation and low commercial value have left it under-represented in both research and the international market. The importance of subsistence sorghum calls for targeted …

ASSOCIATION MAPPING OF GENE REGIONS FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE AND AGRONOMIC TRAITS IN SORGHUM
Genetic improvement of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) for drought tolerance and grain yield is challenging because of the complex nature of these traits. To make this process more tractable, studies were conducted to investigate the genetic architecture of these traits by employing a novel …

Effects of Morphological Traits and Cultural Practices of Intercropped Soybeans and Cereals
… max (L.) Merrill) were intercropped with either sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) or maize (Zea mays L.) to study (1) the effects of sorghum plant height, maize leaf angle, delayed planting of sorghum and maize, and row width on interrow-intercropped soybeans, and (2) the effect of nodulating …

Genotypic and Environmental Effects on Soybean Canopy Photosynthesis
… to the morning was investigated using grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), and soybean to determine if it was related to an increase in the ambient air vapor pressure deficit (VPD) causing stomatal closure. Grain sorghum was found to be more sensitive …

Analyzing Unoccupied Aerial Systems Benefits to Enhance Plant Breeding Pipeline Efficiency
Sorghum ((Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench ssp. bicolor) is commonly grown as a grain or forage crop. Grain sorghum hybrids are short in stature and the grain is used for animal feed, food products, and alcohol. Alternatively, forage sorghum hybrids are taller, leafier, and used for grazing, silage, and …

Grain Sorghum Field Emergence and Seed Vigor Tests
Poor emergence of sorghum [(Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] affects the stand and potential yields. The major objective of this research was to find correlations among field emergence data and laboratory seed vigor tests. Thirty-two and 30 hybrids of sorghum were planted at three Virginia locations in …
