Sorghum is the most important food and fodder crop of dry land agriculture. Sorghum grains are important as food and as livestock feed. The stem and foliage are used as a green fodder, hay, silage and pasture. The stems are also used as fuel and building material. Sorghum vulgare is one of the most important fodder crops of low rainfall areas of India. It can withstand heat and drought to a much greater extent than maize. Its other advantage is that it can give 2 to 3 ratoon crops and sometimes even four as in the case of M. P. Chari and Pioneer hybrid X-988.
