“…Fusarium stalk rots can cause lodging and reduce yield (Tesso et al 2005) while grain infections by Alternaria spp. and G. fujikuroi can reduce quality and perhaps result in toxincontaminated grain (Audilakshmi et al 2007;Leslie et al 2005;Murillo-Williams and Munkvold 2008). Thus, prevalence of these fungi on sorghum roots and in field soil is of great interest.…”

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is valued for bioenergy, feed and food. Potential of sorghum genotypes to support differing populations of root-and soil-associated fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. or Fusarium spp., in two soils, was assessed. Culturable pseudomonads were enumerated from roots and soil of sorghum (Redlan and RTx433) and wheat (Lewjain) seedlings repeatedly grown in cycled soils in the growth chamber. Pseudomonads and Fusarium spp. were assessed from roots and soil of field-grown sorghum along with biological control traits hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and 2,4-diacetylphlorogluconol (phl) production. After four 4-week cycles, soil associated with Redlan seedlings had greater numbers of fluorescent pseudomonads than Lewjain. In dryland field conditions, RTx433 roots had greater numbers of pseudomonads than Redlan before anthesis but similar numbers after. There were no differences in numbers of pseudomonads from dryland soil or roots or soil of irrigated plants. Percentages of HCN-producing root isolates and phl soil isolates declined on irrigated Redlan plants, but percentages of HCN-producers increased in dryland conditions. Redlan roots had greater percentages of Fusarium isolates in the Gibberella fujikuroi complex. Results indicated that sorghum genotype affected rootassociated populations of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. and Fusarium spp. across soil environments.

“…Grain mold resistance at physiological maturity is genetically governed and the grain mold score further gets compounded at harvest maturity depending on (environment) rainfall received after physiological maturity (Ambekar et al, 2011). Acetic acid treatment was most effective for reducing the grain mold score in sorghum (Audilakshimi et al, 2007).…”

“…Dodds has reported that there are four resources of grain loss, namely, nature, cutting and rolling, pick-up, threshing and separating [24] . Natural loss comes from weather conditions such as wind and rain [25] . Others are relevant to the mechanical performances of combine.…”

Threshing is the most important function of grain harvester. Grain loss and damage in harvesting are significantly related to threshing theory and technology. There are four kinds of threshing principles including impact, rubbing, combing and grinding. Four types of contact models between grain and threshing components have been constructed correspondently. Grain damage can be regarded as a function of peripheral velocity and contact pattern of impacting. Grain loss can be regarded as a function of contact pattern of rasp bars. Grain loss coming from cleaning and separation in the subsequent process of combing threshing was significantly decreased. Tangential and axial threshing technologies have been applied in grain threshing system widely. It showed that in the combined application, tangential rolls are used to accelerate grain flow, and axial rolls are used to increase threshing quality especially lower loss and damage. Conical concave may take the place of the traditional cylindrical one. With the development of sensor technology and communication technology, intelligent harvesting robot and automatic threshing system will be integrated together to improve grain quality and operation comfort.
