Description:	Since it was observed in Brazil in April 1975 sugary disease of sorghum (Claviceps africana) has been a serious threat to seed production. The impact of the disease on sorghum seed business in Brazil resulted in an integrated effort involving private sector, University of Passo Fundo and Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuaria (Maize and Sorghum Research Center) to develop strategies to adequately manage this disease. This paper summarizes the achievements from this effort.
