Cultural Studies to Determine Resistance to Fusarium Moniliforme Stalk and Root Rot Disease of Sorghum
Abstract
Much has been said and doubtless much more remains to be said about world food requirements in the immediate future. According to Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman E. Borlaug during a special seminar at Oklahoma State University: evenly among "Producing enough food and the people of the world distributing will be two challenges facing mankind in the next few years." it big I believe the elimination of world hunger depends mostly upon the training of developing countries in proper agricultural techniques and the use of food aid only in case of emergency. There is always a real sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, dignity and nobility in serving to the home dinner guest, fruit and vegetables grown in the backyard rather than in opening an imported, pasteurized can. Ice cream always tastes especially good when it is topped off with fresh, home grown strawberries. Accordingly, working on more agricultural techniques and distributing them via training among the people of the world is a definite long term solution. For the centuries to come, we expect agricultural production to keep pace with the demand. The production of sufficient quantities of food for the world population requires not only a better application of new agricultural techniques of production, but also an efficient adaptation and utilization of the current research results in different subjects of agriculture and related sciences. One of the important objectives for better application of new agricultural techniques is to reduce losses due to plant diseases and pests.
