Synopsis "Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement"
This new volume, Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive treatment of the sorghum crop. With the world's production of sorghum topping over 55 million tons annually, sorghum is very important for as a staple dietary food for much of the world as a rich source of micronutrients and macronutrients, as an ingredient in the processing of many foods, and as a source of fodder.The authors of the volume provide detailed information on sorghum from several disciplines and bring together recent literature under one umbrella.
