Abstract
Grain sorghum is an important crop not only to farmers in Kansas, but to farmers in many countries in Africa.
Some of the production challenges are the same, but many challenges are different or more severe in West African countries, said Vara Prasad, assistant professor of agronomy at K-State. West African farmers battle against drought, soil infertility and parasitic weeds.
INTSORMIL Regional Project Sites in Africa
The purpose of INTSORMIL is to find ways to improve production practices in those countries. West African farmers face serious problems of a localized and volatile market, the agronomists said.
