Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought-tolerant cereal crop of African origin valued for its resilience in hot, dry, and low-fertility environments where wheat and maize are less productive. As a C4 grass it combines efficient water and nitrogen use with high yield potential, supporting food, feed, and industrial use, and its production is shaped by soil fertility, water and salinity stress, parasitic weeds such as Striga, and mycorrhizal and microbial interactions. Agronomic and genetic research seeks to improve yield, stress tolerance, and resistance to biotic constraints. The research collected here reflects this scope through studies of the mineral content and sensory properties of injera made from faba bean, sorghum, and tef blends, the response of sorghum varieties to organic and inorganic fertilisers and their nitrogen and water-use efficiencies, screening of genotypes for Striga resistance, sesame and di-ammonium phosphate for controlling Striga and improving sorghum growth and yield, nitrogen fertilisation in saline soil, and mycorrhizal modification indicated by foliar pH. Together they span crop nutrition, abiotic stress, parasitic-weed management, and grain quality. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research in plant biology and agronomy, including the physiology, genetics, and management of sorghum and other cereal crops.
