Abstract:
This paper reports on a study which allowed farmers to evaluate new sorghum cultivars with drought tolerant capacity that would also meet the farmers’ utilization and marketing preferences. Farmers assessed two of the cultivars, namely, KARI/Mtama-1 and Gatururu, as of higher utility value that the brown-seeded cultivar, Serena. They noted that the latter grew well but is less palatable and marketable.
