Includes bibliographical references.
Introductions -- Corn and grain sorghum morphology, physiology and phenology -- Corn and grain sorghum historical yield, area, and price trends -- Corn and grain sorghum yield trend since the beginning of hybrid technology -- Yield distributiion and functions for corn and grain sorghum -- Resource (land, water, nutrient, and pesticide) use and efficiency of corn and sorghum -- Rotation effects of corn and sorghum in cropping systems -- General summary.
Corn and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor subsp. bicolor L) are among the top cereal crops world wide, and both are key for global food security. Similarities between the two crops, particularly their adaptation for warm-season grain production, pose an opportunity for comparisons to inform appropriate cropping decisions. This book provides a comprehensive review of the similarities and differences between corn and grain sorghum. It compares corn and sorghum crops in areas such as morphology, physiology, phenology, yield, resource use and efficiency, and impact of both crops in differe.
