One small scheme with one post of striga physiologist was granted under PL-480 programme in the year 1975. This scheme was in operation for five year and then discontinued. During 1979-80 State Government of Maharashtra approved a scheme on strengthening of Sorghum Research at Akola with some technical and supporting staff.<br \/> The systematic research programme with coordinated approach was started from 1980.During 1990 ICAR launched special project on \u201cPromotion of Research and development Efforts on Hybrids in selected crops\u201d. Under this project, Akola center was included in 1991. Two contractual Research Associates and some contingencies were provided under this project. Later on from April., 1999 the said project is converted in NATP Mission Mode Project on \u201c Development of Hybrids- Rabi sorghum\u201d and only one Research Associate and some contingencies were provided under NATP scheme to this center. This project was discontinued on 31st December, 2003.<br \/> From July 1999, an Adhoc project on \u2018 Development of multicut forage Sorghum Hybrids\u2019 was sanctioned by ICAR. Under this scheme, one research Associate and some recurring contingencies has been provided to this center .This scheme was sanctioned for the period of three year and commenced from 1st July 1999 and discontinued on 30th June 2003..During June 2000, four NATP schemes under Production System Research ( PSR) mode were sanctioned and allotted to Sorghum research Unit . presently, All India Crop Improvement Project( Sorghum) funded by ICAR and State Non plan ( Kharif Sorghum) schemes are operational at Sorghum Research Unit Dr, P.D.K.V.Akola.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a name=\"climate\"><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Agro Climatic Information<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Sorghum in Vidarbha is cultivated in three Agro \u2013 ecological zones viz.
