Propogating sorghum by cuttings--H.E.Rea and R.E.Karper(American Journal of Botany,1932,Vol.19.pp. 464-476).The authors belive that propagation of sorghum by cuttings would prove useful for research workers and plant breeders in increasing rare sorghum selections,importance or hybrids.Experments carried out with twelve types and varieties of sorghum and one variety of Indian corn show that these could be readily propogated from cuttings (especialy from the many-node cuttings heeled in the open green house bed).The broom corn variety appeared to be best adapted to propogation by cuttings.The sorgo group showed considerable variation,while the grain sorghums produced the lowest percentage of satisfactorily rooted cuttings.
