Abstract
In a variety of sweet sorghum called Tella Jonna commonly grown the Bellary district a sweet fluid is found to exude from the ear- certain plants from the beginning of the flowering season. It frequently collects and dries on the leaves and is the cause of attrac- tion for the large number of ants and other insects that visit the plants. Usually it is found as a sticky semi-solid; in several cases however, crystals are formed. When this secretion takes place the ear-head remains small and undeveloped though in all other respects the plant may look normal.
