Infra-specific folk taxonomy in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in Ethiopia: folk nomenclature, classification, and criteria.

Journal of ethnobiology and ethnomedicine - 27 Dec 2007

Mekbib Firew

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sorghum is one of the main staple food crops for the poorest and most food insecure people of the world. As Ethiopia is the centre of origin and diversity for sorghum, the crop has been cultivated for many thousands of years. Hence, indigenous knowledge based sorghum classification and naming has a long tradition. METHODS: In order to assess folk taxonomy, various research methods were employed,...
