Abstract

Unlike corn, sorghum is comparatively a new crop in the United States of America. It appears to have come in here sometime in the 1850's from the tropics of Africa and India. A few years ago, sorghum was reported as a "promising crop" here and today it is an important crop. In the 1930's, sorghum acreage and production was only 6 8 million acres and 93.7 million bushels respectively (Martin, 1936). As against this, in 1968 the U.S. produced 777 million bushels of grain sorghum; 4.3 million tons of forage and 10.3 million tons of silage, from a total acreage of 19.2 million acres (Anonymous, 1968).
