Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] is valued
for its grain, stalks and leaves. It is one of the World’s
major cereal crops. Worldwide, there are a small
number of grains that supply approximately 85% of
the world’s food energy and only four other foods
(rice, wheat, maize, and potatoes) are consumed
more than sorghum. For 500 million people in over
30 countries of the semi arid tropics, sorghum is a
dietary staple.
