Major thrust at the centre1. Development of grain sorghum varieties/Hybrid for Kharif and Rabi

seasons.

2. Develop and evaluate genotypes for Hudda purpose.

3. Development of single-cut as well as multi-cut fodder varieties.

4. Development of appropriate crop management practices andformulation of efficient sorghum based cropping systems forsustainable sorghum production.

5. Conducting investigation on key pests i.e. stem borer, shoot fly, mitesand diseases of sorghum i.e. grain mold, ergot, leaf spot etc.

6. Transfer of technologies through on-farm and frontline demonstrations
