Abstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate physiological treatments of stressed compounds and soil Mycorrhiza that will minimize the negative effects of drought on sorghum. Results indicated that drought affected sorghum plants had least height, crude fibre and starch contents, amylase and proteinase, and as well as yields. Drought amelioration was best recorded with Mycorrhizal drought amelioration, followed by 15% trehalose drought amelioration.
