Title Morphology and distribution of Zerazera sorghums
 
Creator Prasada Rao, K E

Subject Sorghum
 
Description Zerazera sorghums are distributed in Sudan and Ethiopia. Because of their
agronomic eliteness zerazera sorghums are used extensively in several sorghum improvement
programs in India and elsewhere. Extensive collections of zerazeras were made in Sudan and
Ethiopia by ICRISAT in 1979 and 1981 respectively. Morphological affinity, geographic
distribution and the ethnic association of the Sudan and Ethiopian zerazeras suggest that zerazera
sorghums were introduced from Sudan into the Gambella area of Ethiopia. Inspite of slight
differences, zerazera sorghums from Sudan and Ethiopia can be grouped as subrace Zerazera
under race Caudatum.
