Expertise:

  • Sorghum breeding and genetics

My program is interested in the improvement of grain sorghum as alternative source of food and feed.

The major focuses of the program include development of high yielding hybrids adapted to major sorghum growing environments, resistance based weed control technology and development and release of high protein germplasm and hybrids to increase food and feed value of the crop.
