The use of sorghum for human consumption to add value to the crop and increase its profitability, especially for small and medium producers, has contributed to food security and nutrition in El Salvador. CENTA is promoting the cultivation of sorghum as an alternative to food production in rural and urban areas. Since 2010 when wheat prices lower again, sorghum was no more an alternative to replace wheat in certain types of food, but is being used in more stable markets, as people allergic to gluten, people with diabetes and to correct nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency anemia because of …

Sorgo Dicta - 10 Bmr: Sorgo De Doble Propósito Especial Para Ensilaje, Alberto Morán Araujo, Miriam Villeda

INTSORMIL Scientific Publications

La Dirección de Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria (DICTA), con el propósito de mejorar la productividad de la ganadería en Honduras, produce la variedad de sorgo DICTA‐10 BMR.

Con esta variedad de sorgo, DICTA contribuye con la seguridad alimentaria de las familias productoras, de escasos recursos.

Esta variedad proviene de la variedad de sorgo CENTA S2 a la que se le introdujeron los genes “BMR 12,” cuya característica más evidente es que la vena central de las hojas es de color café.

Este sorgo de nervadura marrón o BMR (Brown Middle Rib) se caracteriza por tener contenidos bajos de lignina.

The Economic Impact Of The New Insensitive Sorghum Cultivars In The Dairy Market Of Nicaragua, Gabriel Garcia Gomez

INTSORMIL Scientific Publications

This thesis estimates the benefits and returns to consumers, processors, producers and society of the new insensitive sorghum cultivars used for the dairy production in Nicaraguan. Many dairy producers also sell their grain so sorghum production is a multi-product activity.

The breeding project of INTA developed cultivars for simultaneous use in dairy and grain production. Its first release was Pinolero-1 developed during the Nicaraguan civil war. This cultivar was rapidly adopted by farmers after the end of the war in 1990. Subsequently, five more new cultivars have been released. We consider their combined effects.

Through field surveys, we calculated the …
