“…Besides food, it is also used for animal feed, fuel, syrup, ethanol and the production of alcoholic beverages. It is used to make foods such as couscous, sorghum flour porridge and molasses (Bergtold et al, 2017). It is nutritionally superior to other fine cereals such as rice and wheat and hence it is known as nutritious cereal.…”

The allelopathic effect of aqueous leaf extract (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) of Parthenium hysterophorus (L.) was investigated on the germination and early growth of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in the laboratory. Among tested concentrations, the significantly maximum seed germination was observed to 25 and 50 % concentration and the germination percentage was supressed at highest concentration to 75 and 100 %. On other hand root and shoot length of jowar seed was inhibited with increasing concentration of aqueous leaf extract of Parthenium. It can be concluded that Parthenium leaf aqueous extract contain allelopathic compounds in their tissues which may cause allelopathic effects on jowar crop.

“…The crop is considered to be dual-purpose in agroecology, as the grains and stalks have significant consumption value for humans and cattles, respectively (Hariprasanna et al 2016) [7] . Sorghum is also cultivated as a fuel crop (Bergtold et al, 2017) [8] . All crops have considerable amount of threat from weeds as they compete for light , water and nutrients (Rani et al, 2011) [9] .…”

The present study reveals allelopathic potential of aqueous leaf extracts of two invasive weeds Euphorbia hirta L. and Parthenium hysterophorus L. on seed germination, growth performance and protein content of jowar (Sorghum vulgare Pers.) seedlings. Laboratory experiments were conducted to check the allelopathic potential of aqueous extract of selected weeds on germination and seedling growth of jowar. Enfluence of aqueous extrats (25, 50, 75 and 100 % concentrations) of two weed plants were studied on seed germination, growth performance, biomass and protein content of jowar seedlings. The observations of experiments revealed a significant stimulatory allelopathic potential of both the weeds on root and shoot growth. Similar results were obtained in case of performed bioassays. Among all concentrations, 25 % concentration of both the weed extracts shows maximum stimulation in biomass and protein content in jowar seedlings.

“…It ranks fifth in cereal production after maize, rice, wheat and barley (Boyles et al, 2018;FAOSTAT, 2017;Mundia et al, 2019). It can be cultivated as a fuel crop (Bergtold et al, 2017;OECD, 2010; United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [UNCTAD], 2016). The crop is normally cultivated under dryland conditions in marginal areas with high temperatures and low rainfall (Mabhaudhi et al, 2019;Mundia et al, 2019) because it can withstand wilting compared to maize (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations [FAO], International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics [ICRISAT], 1996).…”

Sorghum is an important staple food crop in dry areas of Zimbabwe but yields are reduced due to inefficient weed management strategies that largely rely on hand weeding. A study to establish weeds associated with sorghum and their management was conducted in two sorghum-growing districts, Insiza and Chipinge, during the 2016/17 cropping season. Physical weed sampling in farmers' fields was done to identify weeds infesting sorghum. A questionnaire was used to collect survey data from 80 respondents who were randomly selected. Physical weed sampling established that the dominant weeds that infested sorghum in the two districts were Amaranthus hybridus, Richardia scabra, Tagetes minuta, Striga asiatica, Commelina benghalensis, Eleusine indica, Datura stramonium and Panicum spp. Many of the weeds are broadleaf species, offering opportunity to harness sorghum allelopathy for weed control. Allelopathic compounds exuded by sorghum, such as ABOUT THE AUTHORSHandsen Tibugari is a PhD student studying sorghum allelopathy at the
