Field experiments to evaluate the split application of mesotrione + s-metolachlor, mesotrione + terbuthylazine, dicamba + prosulfuron, terbuthylazine + mesotrione + s-metolachlor, and sulcotrione in the cultivation of sorghum var. Rona 1 were carried out in 2012 and 2013. The field tests were conducted at the field experimental station in Winna Góra, Poznań, Poland. Treatments with the herbicides were performed directly after sowing (PE) and at leaf stage 1–2 (AE1) or at leaf stage 3–4 (AE2) of sorghum. The treatments were carried out in a laid randomized block design with 4 replications. The results showed that the tested herbicides applied at split doses were effective in weed control. After the herbicide application weed density and weed biomass were significantly reduced compared to the infested control. The best results were achieved after the application of mesotrione tank mixture with s-metolachlor and terbuthylazine. Application of split doses of herbicides was also correlated with the density, biomass, and height of sorghum.

“…Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is one of the most economically important crops in the world, particularly in countries such as Nigeria, Mexico and India (FAO ). It is broadly used as a foodstuff, a malt source for brewing, animal feed, and as a non‐food biomass feedstock (Taylor et al ; Laidlaw and Godwin ). The gross value of sorghum production for human consumption, forage and silage is approximately US$9 billion per year (FAO ).…”

“…It is suitable for ratoon cropping systems, is highly adapted to drought, is tolerant of water‐logged conditions and can utilize nitrogen efficiently (Lomte and Dabhade ; McCormick et al ; Norman et al ; Obilana ; Taylor et al ). Additionally, the accessibility of sorghum breeding programs and sorghum genome databases have expanded the utilization of sorghum as a genetic model for C 4 grasses and as an ideal bioenergy crop itself (Laidlaw and Godwin ; Paterson et al ; Vermerris ; Slewinski ; Mace et al ; Mullet et al ).…”

In cereals, the presence of soluble polysaccharides including (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan has downstream implications for human health, animal feed and biofuel applications. Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a versatile crop, but there are limited reports regarding the content of such soluble polysaccharides. Here, the amount of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan present in sorghum tissues was measured using a Megazyme assay. Very low amounts were present in the grain, ranging from 0.16%-0.27% (w/w), while there was a greater quantity in vegetative tissues at 0.12-1.71% (w/w). The fine structure of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan, as denoted by the ratio of cellotriosyl and cellotetraosyl residues, was assessed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ranged from 2.6-3:1 in the grain, while ratios in vegetative tissues were lower at 2.1-2.6:1. The distribution of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan was examined using a specific antibody and observed with fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. Micrographs showed a variable distribution of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan influenced by temporal and spatial factors. The sorghum orthologs of genes implicated in the synthesis of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan in other cereals, such as the Cellulose synthase-like (Csl) F and H gene families were defined. Transcript profiling of these genes across sorghum tissues was carried out using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, indicating that, as in other cereals, CslF6 transcripts dominated.

“…It is generally self-pollinating, but 5-15 % of plants can out-cross, and the flowers open during the night or early morning. Those at the top of the panicle open first and it takes approximately 6 to 9 days for the entire panicle to flower (Laidlaw and Godwin, 2009) [17] Kumara et al (2011) [16] expressed that sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)Moench] is the world's fifth most important cereal crop after wheat, rice, maize and barley in terms of production. In the year 2014/15, sorghum production in the world was 60.46 million tons, and its production in 2015/16 was estimated to be 62.02 million tons which could represent an increase of 1.56 million tons or a 2.58 % in sorghum production in the world (USDA, 2015) [30] .…”

Relay-intercropping is a type of multiple cropping system that ensures the maximum production of component crops (sorghum and chickpea) through wise use of farmland resource. Nowadays, the two key challenges of developing countries including Ethiopia are the fast growing food demand and lower rate of food crop production. West Hararge highlands of study site is a potential area for production of sorghum and chickpea and sorghum is main food crop. Hence, farmers have been producing these crops since right now but its production is so low mainly due to farmland scarcity. The lower rate of crop production due to farmland scarcity could be tackled through adopting compatible sorghum-chickpea relay-intercropping system enables the farmer to produce two or more crops on the same plot of land in one production year. However, this practice is not well adopted at study area of the west Hararghe highlands. Therefore, field study was aimed at evaluating compatibility of highland sorghum varieties for relay-intercropping with chickpea for maximum productivity of sorghum and chickpea. Treatments were composed of one chickpea variety relay-intercropped with eight varieties of highland sorghum (Jiru, Dibaba, Adelle, Chiro, Chelenko, AL70, Local & ETS-2752) at physiological maturity of sorghum varieties in 1:2 row arrangements (1row Sorghum: 2 row chickpea) uniformly forming eight combinations along with two sole crops (sorghum and chickpea) as control. Hence, a total of ten treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. According to analysis of variance, treatments were significantly (p < 0.01) affected the plant height, days to 50 % flowering, days to physiological maturity, dry biomass yield, grain yield and thousand seed weight of sorghum, and highly significantly (p < 0.01) affected stand count, number of pods per plant and grain yield of chickpea, however, plant height, number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight of chickpea were non-significantly (p > 0.05) affected by the treatments. The highest 4.21 tha -1 & 2.33 tha -1 grain yield of sorghum and chickpea respectively were recorded from relayintercropping 1row Jiru var. with 2 row Chickpea and sole chickpea respectively. With this result, the 13.78 % extra grain yield of sorghum was recorded due to relay-intercropping over sole-cropping. Thus, relay-intercropping of 2 row Jiru var. with 2row chickpea showed best performance in grain yield of sorghum. Moreover, the highest total land equivalent ratio of 1.93 was recorded from relay-intercropping 1 row Jiru var. with 2row Chickpea indicating yield advantage over sole-cropping system. In general, the result of this study confirmed that sorghum-chickpea relay-intercropping is best option to maximize the productivity of sorghum and chickpea. Therefore, since, the highest total land equivalent ratio was obtained from relay-intercropping1row Jiru var. with 2 row Chickpea for maximum productivity of component crops, then could be recommended for the study area of West Hararghe...
