Book Description
Sorghum is among the top five cereals and one of the key crops in global food security efforts. Sorghum is a resilient crop under high-stress environments, ensuring productivity and access to food when other crops fail. Scientists see the potential of sorghum as a main staple food in a future challenged by climate change. The contributors provide a comprehensive review of sorghum knowledge. The discussion covers genetic improvements, development of new hybrids, biotechnology, and physiological modifications. Production topics include water and nutrient management, rotations, and pest control. Final end uses, sorghum as a bioenergy crop, markets, and the future of sorghum are presented. IN PRESS! This book is being published according to the “Just Published” model, with more chapters to be published online as they are completed.

Book Description
Sorghum is one of the five important cereal crops of the world and is used by millions in the semi-arid tropics and also as animal feed in many developed countries. The sorghum grain has excellent yields in the semi-arid tropics under several biotic and abiotic constraints. A good knowledge of sorghum plants and their mechanisms of adaptation in harsh environments will help in the formulation of efficient breeding programmes.

Response of Crops to Limited Water
Author: Lajpat AhujaPublisher: ASA-CSSA-SSSA
ISBN: 9780891181675
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Water stress and heat stress are considered to be two primary factors that limit crop production in many parts of the world. Global warming appears to be increasing the water requirements of plants. Understanding the impact of water deficit on plant physiological processes and efficient water management are of great concern in maintaining food production to meet ever increasing world food demand. The book addresses various climatic soil and plant factors that contribute to the water use efficiency in plants subjected to water stress. It covers all issues related to soil, plant and climatic factors that contribute to the crop responses to water stress. The books advances the knowledge in improving and sustaining crop yields in ever increasing unpredictable climatic fluctuations This book uses crop simulation models for response of crops to limited water under various management and climatic conditions.
