Sorghum Diseases: Diagnosis and Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sorghum in the 21st Century: Food – Fodder – Feed – Fuel for a Rapidly Changing World

Abstract

Interaction of plants with environmental factors and microbial world is a dynamic process. As part of this ever-changing process new disease emerges or minor disease may become major with time. This chapter presents a very brief account of well-studied old diseases of sorghum and emphasizes on emerging diseases with particular reference to India. Description of sorghum diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and their transmission through seed implies quarantine significance. Thus, awareness about the quarantine pests of different countries is essential for facilitation of smooth germplasm exchange. Diseases distribution, losses, symptomatology, and management options have been discussed in detail. In this chapter, we have generated environmental (ecological) niche model for the pathogens causing sorghum diseases due to fluctuations in environment caused by climate change. Ecological Niche Model using Maxent is a class of method that uses occurrence data in conjunction with environmental parameters to make a correlative model of the environmental conditions that meet pathogens’ ecological requirements and predicts the relative suitability of habitat.
