CHARACTER ASSOCIATION FOR GRAIN YIELD IN SWEET SORGHUM

Abstract

Seven sweet sorghum parental lines and their forty two hybrids were used for studying the genotypic correlation among grain yield and its related characters. The results showed that panicle weight had the highest positive correlation (0.9784) with grain yield followed by panicle length. Hence, for improving grain yield in sweet sorghum, selection should largely depend upon panicle weight and panicle length.

Keywords: Sweet Sorghum, Correlation, Grain Characters.
