DRY MATTER ACCUMULATION AND DISTRIBUTION AT DIFFERENT GROWTH STAGES IN RELATION TO GRAIN YIELD IN SORGHUM

Abstract

The dry matter production and distribution in sorghum revealed that there are genotypic differences in different components of the source. An increase in TDM from boot leaf stage to grain maturity stage was observed but the stem and leat dry matter showed a decreasing trend as there was a proportionate increase in the panicle dry matter. The economic yield was in accordance with the biological yield and the harvest index was indicative of the biological efficiency of the genotype.
