Study of Variability of & in some Grain Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.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 of 2016-2017. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used in this study. A twenty two sorghum genotypes were evaluated for growth, yield and its components. The results showed that were significant differences among sorghum genotypes for all growth and yield characters. The highest grain yield was (1.94t/ha)was obtained by the genotype (SAR-8). Therefore, this genotype be could be of high benefit in any sorghum breeding program for increasing the yield .
