本文对近四十年国内外苏丹草的研究进展进行了综述，研究结果表明，苏丹草抗性有种是目前的研究重点。近十年来，我国的苏丹草有种和栽培工作进展迅速，新品种不断出现，研究成果显著。主要存在问题是：（1）栽培技术落后；（2）种子生产缺少先进的育种技术和科学的管理模式：（3）缺乏有关生理学和遗传学等方面的基础性研究。 This review summarizes the research progress of Sudan grass at home and abroad in recent forty years. The results show that Sudan grass resistance is the current research focus. In the recent ten years, the species and cultivation of sudangrass in our country have progressed rapidly, new varieties have appeared constantly and the research results have been remarkable. The main problems are: (1) backward cultivation techniques; (2) lack of advanced breeding techniques and scientific management models for seed production; (3) lack of basic research on physiology and genetics.
