Sorghum improvement in Eastern Africa : proceedings of the Regional Workshop on Sorghum Improvement in Eastern Africa, 17-21 Oct., 1982, Nazreth and Debre Zeit, Ethiopia
1983
Sorghum is by far the most important field crop in the Eastern Africa area and the Yemens. It is the traditional staple crop of the region and the vast genetic variability in sorghums found in the area is not paralleled by any other region. All the major sorghum ecological zones found worldwide are present in Eastern Africa and the Yemens. Therefore the sorghum germplasm and the crop improvement research in the region has worldwide interest. The sorghum improvement efforts underway in each of the national programs of the region have been mostly done in isolation with very little interaction between them. This workshop was effective in bringing together most of the active researchers from the national programs of the region. The Ethiopian Sorghum Improvement Project (ESIP) of Addis Ababa University (AAU) was in many ways responsible for the initiation and successful implementation of this workshop. Through the papers presented and the discussions underway throughout the workshop, the participants were able to get a good overall picture of the sorghum improvement situation in the region. These proceedings document the papers presented to and the recommendations passed by the workshop. It is hoped that these proceedings will be useful to all those interested in sorghum in Eastern Africa and the Yemens.
