Abstract
Sorghum from Africa and Asia was occupied more than 81% of the total area harvested in the world. However, the most of the soil in these areas are acidic in nature and aluminum has been recognized as a major problem in most of acidic soils. Sorghum is generally not tolerant to high Al saturation in the acid soil. Therefore, some series of experiments were carried out in order to look for the efficient selection and breeding method of Al tolerance in sorghum. Identification of parental germplasm, Al tolerance character and genetic aspects of Al tolerance character were evaluated in this study.
