Abstract
FAILURE of Sorghum to set seed has occasionally been noted in annual reports of the Gold Coast Agricultural Department, and attributed to climatic conditions. In view of the importance of this crop in the Northern Territories, investigations were commenced and have shown that this failure is due primarily to attacks by the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola Coquillet.
