The present investigation was conducted during the kharif season of 2017 using 73 forage sorghum genotypes to obtain the knowledge about nature and magnitude of genetic parameters and its utilization in development of superior varieties of sorghum. The genetic parameters studied were namely, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation (GCV & PCV), heritability (h2) in broad sense and genetic advance. Analysis of association among fodder yield component and quality parameters was also carried out to establish an appropriate selection criteria for sorghum fodder yield improvement. Analysis of variance revealed the presence of considerable genetic variability in all the 18 parameters inspected in present experiment. The estimate of GCV and PCV was observed highest for dry fodder yield (45.21% & 47.06%, respectively) and lowest for days to 50 percent flowering (6.94% & 7.02%, respectively). High broad sense heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for traits namely, green fodder yield, dry fodder yield, number of tillers per plant, plant height, leaf breadth, stem diameter, leaf: stem ratio, number of leaves per plant, HCN content, copper content, crude protein, TSS content, zinc content, manganese content and iron content. Correlation and path coefficient analysis displayed that Green fodder yield is positively correlated with traits namely, plant height, leaf length, number of leaves per plant, dry fodder yield and TSS content, whereas negatively correlated with leaf: stem, HCN, Zinc and manganese. Green fodder yield, exhibited the highest magnitude of direct effects on dry fodder yield, followed by number of leaves per plant, leaf length and leaf breadth.
