Variability Study of & in some Grain Sorghum (Sorghum bicolorL.moench) Genotypes for Growth and Yield Characters

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the College of Agricultural Studies , Sudan University of Science and Technology, Shambat during the winter season 2016-2017. By using Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. A twenty two sorghum genotypes were evaluated for growth, yield and its component. The results showed that were significant differences among sorghum genotypes for some growth, yield characters. The high weight of seeds(231g) and high yield, (1.39 t/ha), were obtained for the genotype (F3-6).Therefore, this genotype could be of high benefit in any sorghum breeding program for increase the yield .
