This document summarizes insect pests that affect sorghum and pearl millet crops in semi-arid tropical regions and their management strategies. It identifies major pests such as shoot flies, stem borers, midges, head bugs, and caterpillars. Management approaches include using resistant varieties, seed treatments, foliar insecticide sprays timed with pest life cycles, and granular applications to control larvae in plant whorls. Timely sowing of similar maturity varieties over large areas can also reduce damage from some pests.

This study examined the effects of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) on Helicoverpa armigera when incorporated into artificial diets containing plant materials from chickpea, pigeonpea, sorghum, and cotton genotypes that vary in insect resistance. The results showed that survival, development and fecundity of H. armigera were poorer on diets containing resistant plant genotypes and Bt, compared to susceptible genotypes. In particular, larval weight and survival were lowest on diets containing Bt-transgenic cotton. The authors conclude that Bt toxin genes can be deployed more effectively in crop plants that have inherent insect resistance.

Sorghum is an important food and feed crop that is being utilized for more commercial uses. ICRISAT and other partners have developed over 220 new sorghum cultivars suited for various uses. They are working to commercialize sorghum by linking farmers to new markets, identifying value-added products like sorghum starch, and developing sorghum-based foods. Examples include ethanol production from sweet sorghum in India, poultry feed incorporating sorghum, and traditional foods like injera and kisra made from sorghum. Further research continues into new sorghum products with health and nutritional benefits.
Identification of mid-season moisture stress tolerant sweet sorghum material
This document summarizes research on identifying sweet sorghum genotypes tolerant to mid-season moisture stress. Researchers screened improved sweet sorghum genotypes and accessions under irrigation stoppage to simulate drought. Traits like leaf rolling, recovery after stress, stalk yield, juice yield, and sugar yield correlated between stressed and unstressed conditions, indicating their importance in breeding for drought tolerance. Several hybrid parents and varieties showed tolerance, including ICSV 25297, ICSV 25300, and hybrids ICSSH 75 and ICSSH 67. These materials can be further tested and utilized in breeding programs.
Insect pests of sorghum, sorghum bicolor
This document lists and describes several common insect pests that damage sorghum crops, including the shoot bug, stem borer, spider mite, shoot fly, midge, head bug, and head caterpillar. It notes that the sorghum crop can be damaged by the shoot fly but normal growing plants are protected by the insecticide thiamethoxam. The document is authored by HC Sharma of ICRISAT, which is part of the CGIAR Consortium.
Sorghum improvement at ICRISAT: Strategies and impacts
Sorghum breeding at ICRISAT has progressed from initial strategies to now focus on strategic research areas like rabi sorghum and Guinea race materials. Target materials include Caudatum and Caudatum × Guinea hybrids. Impacts in Asia include new varieties released in India, China, and the Philippines. In Africa, new varieties have improved Striga resistance and suitability for injera in Ethiopia. ICRISAT has also developed screening techniques for insect resistance with partnerships throughout Asia and Africa.
Guinea race sorghum hybrids
v Researchers developed new sorghum hybrids using parents well-adapted to West and Central Africa to increase yields for farmers in the region. The hybrids combined high grain quality of local varieties with increased productivity.
v Extensive testing of the hybrids showed average yields were 28% higher than the popular local variety, with some hybrids yielding over 450 kg/ha more. The hybrids performed well across different growing conditions.
v Seed companies and farmer groups in Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana and Burkina Faso have been involved in producing and marketing the new hybrid seeds, helping sorghum transition to an important cash crop for smallholder farmers.
Millets, Good For You
Fewer crop species are feeding the world than 50 years ago due to a decline in millets and other traditional crops. This globalized diet of energy-dense crops fuels rising rates of diabetes and heart disease. Millets could help reverse this trend by diversifying diets and providing health benefits like preventing cancer, heart disease, and managing blood glucose levels in diabetics. Millets are nutrient dense and gluten free, making them beneficial for many people.
Millets - Good For The Planet
Millets are well-suited to growing in drier and warmer climates, requiring little water or fertilizer. They provide greater diversity on farms, helping to reduce pests and climate risks while improving farmers' resilience. As the climate changes and more arid land emerges, millets will be important drought-tolerant alternatives to other cereals like maize that may no longer thrive in many regions by 2030.
Sweet sorghum
This document discusses sweet sorghum, a drought-tolerant crop that can be used for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Sweet sorghum accumulates sugary juice in its stalk that can be extracted and used to produce ethanol. Research at ICRISAT has led to the development of improved sweet sorghum varieties with higher sugar content and juice yields. These varieties provide farmers with greater income opportunities compared to traditional crops. The document highlights impacts such as the release of new sweet sorghum hybrids in India and the Philippines and the provision of technical support to distilleries for cultivation and utilization of sweet sorghum.
Sorghum
Sorghum is a nutritious grain that is rich in protein, fiber and micronutrients. It is a dietary mainstay for over half a billion poor people and grows well in hot, dry environments, making it climate change-ready. Sorghum is also highly valued as a source of feed and fodder for livestock.

This study investigated how cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) influences insect resistance in sorghum. Twelve male-sterile lines and their maintainer lines were evaluated for resistance to two insects, while 35 lines were evaluated for resistance to a third insect and four lines for resistance to a fourth insect. The results showed that male-sterile lines were generally more susceptible to insects than their maintainer counterparts. Resistance in both the male-sterile and maintainer parent was needed to produce insect-resistant hybrids. The female, male-sterile parent had a greater influence on the level of insect resistance or susceptibility expressed in the hybrid. These findings are important for developing and deploying insect-resistant sorghum hybrids for

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份毕业证【Q微信741003700】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【Q微信741003700】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
