Evaluation of sorghum genotype mixtures in controlling sorghum leaf blight
(1989)
Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of genotype mixtures on the development of sorghum leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum. For the field experiments, three locations of Central ...
Quality, composition, and starch properties of sorghum Tô, a thick porridge
(1989)
To is a thick porridge prepared by cooking a flour slurry in boiling water with continous stirring. The relationship between to texture and solubility properties with physicochemical characteristics of sorghum with different ...
Pathogenic variability and sexuality in Peronosclerospora sorghi (Weston and Uppal) Shaw, and comparative nuclear cytology of Peronosclerospora species
(1986)
Sixteen Peronosclerospora sorghi populations from seven countries were evaluated for variability in their virulence pattern on sorghum. All populations were identified as distinct vertical pathotypes based on differential ...
Comparative performance and basis for differences among sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) hybrids from differenct periods of sorghum improvement
(1983)
Performance tests, growth analysis, as well as evaluations of combining ability and heterosis were carried out during 1981 and 1982 seasons to determine morphological, physiological, genetic and adaptational differences ...
Effects of haloxyfop on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) root meristems
(1987)
The effects of the grass-specific herbicide haloxyfop {2- [4- [[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]oxy]-phenoxy]propanoic acid} on the growth and ultrastructure of susceptible sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) ...
Grain mold histopathology, damage assessment, and resistance screening within Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench lines
(1981)
Sorghum grain molds are defined as prematurity diseases resulting from infection of spikelets or developing kernels as early as anthesis by parasitic field fungi. Curvularia spp and Fusarium spp are the predominant grain ...
A charcterization of sorghum for genes affecting pericarp color and polyphenols
(1985)
Inbred lines, F1 crosses and progeny from F2 populations were utilized to determine if the primary loci which control pericarp color (R, Y, B1, B2 and S) affected tannin presence and concentration differently when they ...
Thermal and photothermal effects on the growth and development of diverse grain sorghum genotypes
(1980)
A study was conducted to determine if thermal or photothermal models (indices) could be developed to accurately predict phenological development of these diverse genotypes grown in different climatic regimes. Growth analysis ...
Measurement of the FE-deficiency response mechanism in sorghum
(1984)
Growth chamber studies were conducted to develop a visual test for differentiating sorghum cultivar Fe-efficiency in CaCO(,3) buffered nutrient culture. Nine sorghum cultivars were germinated in vermiculite and grown for ...
Texas Coastal Bend grain sorghum producers' fertilizer decisions under uncertainty
(1985)
Optimal (profit and utility maximizing) fertilizer levels are computed based on normative decision guides developed from experimental data on grain sorghum yield/fertilizer levels over an eight year (1977-1984) period, as ...
