Description Sorghum and pear l millet are impor tant coarse-grain cereals in the dry agr icul tural areas of the arid and
semi -ar id t ropics. In both crops, varieties (open-pol l inated and highly heterogenous/heterozygous types
in pearl millet and homozygous/homogenous types in sorghum) and hybrids (based on cytoplasmic-geni c
male sterility) have been produced and adopted by farmers. The development of parental mater ials and
their use in cultivar development and seed product ion of new varieties requi res speci f ic skills. Wi th the
aim of impar t ing such skills, a t raining course was organized for scientists and technicians f rom Asia and
Af r ica at the Internat ional Crops Research Institute for the Semi -Ar id Tropics ( ICRISAT) , India, f rom 6
to 17 Mar 1995.
