ABSTRACT
The present experiment was undertaken to estimate the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in nineteen diverse genotypes of sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] which were grown in RBD with three replications. These genotypes were evaluated for green fodder yield, its attributing characters and quality traits. Out of the seventeen characters evaluated in the present investigation green fodder yield, dry fodder yield, leaf to stem ratio, early vigour, sugar brix and crude protein exhibited high GCV, high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean. Hence, these traits should be given more importance during selection for further improvement of forage yield and quality.
Key words :
Heritability, GCV, Genetic advance, PCV, Sweet sorghum.
