Sorghum popularly known as jowar, is the most important food and fodder crop of
dryland agriculture.In India, sorghum grain is eaten by human either by breaking
the grain and cooking it in the same way as rice or by grinding it into flour and
preparing ‘chapatis’.
|
|
To some Extent it is also eaten as parched and popped grain. This grain is
also fed to cattle, poultry and swine. Sorghum grain contains about 10-12 per cent
protein, 3 per cent fat and 70 per cent carbohydrates; therefore, it can satisfactorily
replace other grains in the feeding programme for dairy cattle, poultry and swine.
Its industrial use has tremendous scope.
|
Cultivation of jowar is mainly concentrated in peninsular and central India. Maharashtra,
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (the
Bundelkhand region) and Tamil Nadu are the major jowar-growing states. Other states
grow sorghum in small areas primarily for fodder.
