Abstract

Important Sorghum Diseases and their Management in Ethiopia

Mulatu Gidi*

Sorghum is a critical crop, especially in semiarid areas where moisture is scarce. It is the fifth-most important crop cereal crop. Sorghum is a C4 plant that originated and diversified in Ethiopia. It is used as feed, fuel and is consumed by humans in the form of injera, boiled porridge or gruel, malted beverages, beer, popped grain, and chips. In Ethiopia, biotic, abiotic, and socioeconomic constraints limit Sorghum production and productivity. Anthracnose, grain mold, cover smut, kernel cover smut, and turcicum leaf blight are the major biotic constraints in Ethiopian Sorghum production and productivity. Using resistant Sorghum genotypes is the best and most effective management for Sorghum disease.
