Résumé
Le papier passe en revue les maladies foliaires et celles de tete
de sorgho. Certaines comme l'anthracnose, la rouille et la
moisissure de graines causent des pertes economiques
considerables. La resistance est certainement le moyen de
controle le plus economique. Avec l'avenement de la
biotechnologie, des perspectives existent maintenant pour un
diagnostic plus sur de l'etiologie de maladies et plus
probablement cela facilitera l'amelioration pour la resistance
a ces maladies.

Foliar and Head Diseases of Sorghum
Esele, J.P.
Abstract
The major foliar and head diseases of sorghum are discussed in
this paper. Some, especially anthracnose, leaf blight and grain
moulds cause considerable economic losses. Host plant resistance
is certainly the most cost-effective means of controlling these
diseases. With the advent of biotechnology, opportunities now
exist for more accurate diagnosis of disease etiology, and most
likely will facilitate breeding for resistance to these diseases.
