•The mineral content of 100 diverse sorghum genotypes were evaluated.•Genotypes presented high variability for P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn.•Water stress decreased Mn, P, Mg and S contents in 100, 96, 93 and 56% of genotypes.•2% of the genotypes were classified as excellent sources of Fe and 2...
