Anthracnose and grain mold resistance response of 80 sorghum accessions were evaluated during two experiments.

Accessions from Burkina Faso showed higher frequency of anthracnose and grain mold resistance than South Africa accessions.

Nine accessions (8 from Burkina Faso and 1 from South Africa) exhibited grain mold resistance across repeated experiments.

New resistance germplasm should aid to expand the genetic diversity in sorghum breeding programs.
