Approximately 30 million tons are produced annually. The sorghum midge (Contarinia sorghicola) destroys up to 90 percent of a given sorghum crop. Since the use of resistant sorghums has received little attention, previous gains in this area of control have been meager. This study was designed to evaluate the preference mechanism of resistance in 10 selected lines of grain sorghum, which varied in degree of resistance. In addition, data on overwintering midges and parasitism were collected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on Cereal and Forage Insects: The Sorghum Midge Sweet sorghum, aside from its use in making molasses, ranks as one of the most important forage crops grown in the United States. It is highly prized as a green food for cattle and horses and is well adapted to entering the composition of Silage. Several crops are sometimes produced during the season, the last fall crop generally being cured as a dry winter fodder. In Louisiana and Texas, while this crop is grown practically over the entire States, no large areas are cultivated, but it is found in small, isolated blocks ranging in extent from one-fourth acre upward.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) production in many areas of the world is reduced due to damage caused by sorghum midge (Stenodiplosis sorghicola). There are several methods of control to reduce losses due to sorghum midge, which include cultural practices, biological control, chemical control and resistant cultivars. The best long-term solution for sorghum midge control is the use of genetic resistance in cultivars and hybrids. Recently, sorghum midge resistant hybrids have been developed by several sorghum breeding programs, but there is limited information about agronomic performance relative to planting dates compared to susceptible standards. Thus, the objectives of this research project are: (1) to evaluate the value of sorghum midge resistant sorghum hybrids in the USA production system, (2) to confirm the presence of sorghum midge insect resistance in sorghum hybrids, and (3) to determine whether the resistance in eighteen sorghum hybrids is stable across two environments in Texas where sorghum midge is a damaging pest. Sorghum hybrids with different levels of resistance to sorghum midge were evaluated at College Station and Corpus Christi, Texas in 2003 and 2004, using two different planting dates and the presence or absence of an insecticide treatment. Agronomic data, sorghum midge incidence ratings and number of adult midges, were determined for all entries. All entries designated as resistant did have some resistance compared to susceptible checks. Across all hybrids, grain yield was higher in sorghum with normal planting dates compared to late planting. Under midge pressure resistant hybrids performed better than susceptible hybrids, but lacking midge pressure the susceptible hybrids were higher performing. The use of midge resistant hybrids in commercial production is only warranted when producers are reasonably sure that midge will be a problem. Otherwise, they should continue to plant early using traditional hybrids.
