Abstract

Maximum entropy method (Maxent) for modelling of selected sorghum landraces (Errajonna, Kondajonna, Pachchajonna and Tellajonna) geographic distributions with presence-only data from Khammam district of Telangana state, India for future climate was attempted. Variability occurs among the models generated for specific landraces. Specific potential districts in Telangana state were identified for further cultivation and on-farm conservation of sorghum landraces in the light of climate change regime.
