Eco-biology, impact, and management of Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.

Arslan Masood Peerzada et al.

Summary: This article introduces Sorghum halepense as one of the worst and extensively disseminated weed species, posing potential menace to agroecosystems worldwide. It adapts to warmer regions and is native to Mediterranean areas of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its interference with economically important crops causes significant yield losses. Effective management strategies require better understanding of its invasion mechanisms, ecobiological aspects, survival mechanisms, and genetic variabilities across different environmental conditions. Collaborative research between impacted countries is crucial for developing efficient, sustainable, and economical approaches to restrict its invasion.
