HETEROSIS FOR YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN Sorghum bicolor (L) MOENCH

Abstract

The extent of heterosis for yield and yield components in a set of eighty one cross combinations consisting of nine male sterile lines and nine restorer lines of Sorghum were studied. The cross combinations 2077A X Co 26, 296A X IL 101, 3002A X Co 25 and TNAU MS IA X IL 105 were identified as the best hybrids for grain yield on the basis of per se performance with high heterotic expression.
