Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects pests may limit the production of sorghum grain in ratoon cropping systems in the southeastern United States. Early planting dates required in ratoon cropping systems help avoid high and potentially damaging populations of most key pests before the first grain harvest. However, greenbugs (Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) and other aphids could cause economic damage to the first crop. Greater insect pest problems are likely to occur on the second (ratoon) crop than the first crop. Key pests which may reach damaging levels on the ratoon crop include the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), corn earworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie)), sorghum webworm (Celama sorghiella (Riley)), and sorghum midge (Contarinia sorghicola (Coquilett)). Use of resitant hybrids, cultural practices, and natural suppressive agents is encouraged to help control populations of key pests whenever possible. Selective insecticide use should be based on careful evaluation of numbers of pest and beneficial insects, plant development, weather, and economic factors.

Book excerpt: "The most important groups of grain-producing sorghums are kafir and milo. The grain sorghums are of comparatively recent introduction. They are now extensively grown in the southern half of the Great Plains area -- Sorghum grain is feed for stock and food for man. It also may be used in making alcohol. the grain has about 90 percent of the feeding value of corn. It is a profitable feed, therefore, when the price is not more than 90 percent of the price of corn. Where the yield is 10 per cent more than the yield of corn, grain sorghums are as profitable crops to grow as corn. Sorghum grain is relished by all stock and poultry and if of good quality is readily eaten. For human food the meal can be used in every way that corn meal is used, and the grain may be popped like pop corn. The thrashed grain should be thoroughly dry and as clean as possible before it is stored in bins. Broken kernels and dirt pack so closely that they exclude the air and so increase the danger of spoiling. Bins for sorghum grain should be equipped with simple and easily made ventilators. The acreage of grain sorghum is increasing steadily. More of the grain should be used in the section where it is grown." -- p. 2

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Wheat and Sorghum Production in the Southern Great Plains Under Limited Rainfall The crop failures and the spectacular dust storms that have ravaged the Great Plains during the last few years have focused public atten tion on the region and have aroused much speculation regarding its future for farming. This attention has been directed most closely to that portion consisting of southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, southeastern Colorado, and part of the Texas Panhandle. It 1s here that some of the worst soil blowing has taken place. Hasty judgment has led to condemnation of the whole area for crop production by some people, and its _no less vigorous support by others. No intensive effort has been made to get at the facts and to determine from past experience what 1s likely to happen m the future. To understand better the present status of agriculture in this area it is necessary to have some knowledge of the changes that have taken place since its settlement.

Download or read book Growing Grain Sorghums in the San Antonio District of Texas written by C. R. Letteer and published by . This book was released on 1918 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A shortage of grain feed is a common occurrence on the farms in the San Antonio district of Texas. This results from planting an insufficient acreage of grain crops and from the fact that farmers rely too much upon Indian corn for grain production. Corn produces a relatively small yield per acre under conditions existing in this district and a complete failure of the crop often occurs. A grain crop that is more dependable than corn is urgently needed. Experiments at the San Antonio Field Station during the past eight years indicate the possibility of making grain sorghum a successful crop in that district. Grain sorghum is a much surer crop in unfavorable years than corn, and it yields fully as much feed in favorable years. The principal reason why grain sorghum has not been more extensively planted in this district is its frequent failure to produce grain, due to blasting or sterility. This blasting is caused by a small gnatlike fly, the sorghum midge. The results of the observations and experiments at San Antonio show that by using early varieties and special cultural methods sorghum can be made a dependable grain crop in spite of the midge. The points of special significance to be observed are early seeding and the use of quick-maturing varieties." -- p. 2
