Data from: Correlations among agronomic traits obtained from sorghum accessions planted in a field infected with three important fungal diseases.

Data based on a total of 179 sorghum accessions from Ethiopia, Gambia, and Senegal maintained by the USDA-ARS, Plant Genetic Resources Conservation Unit, Griffin, Georgia, USA, and planted in replicated plots in Isabela, Puerto Rico during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Disease severity rating of 1 to 5 was used of the anthracnose, grain mold, and rust infections. Data were collected by Louis K. Prom, Hugo E. Cuevas, Ezekiel J. S. Ahn, Thomas S. Isakeit, and Clint W. Magill between March 2017 and December 2018. Seed weight (100 seeds) was based in grams, percent germination was based on the number of seeds out of 100 that germinated, plant height measured from the soil to top of the plant in centimeters, panicle length measured from the first branch with racemes to the top of the panicle, grain yield of three harvested panicles per accession in grams and the flowering date was based on Julian days.
