STUDIES ON SYNCHRONISATION OF FLOWERING IN THE PARENTAL LINES OF SORGHUM HYBRIDS II ASSOCIATION OF WEATHER ELEMENTS WITH THE DURATION TO FLOWERING

Abstract

The parental lines of sorghum hybrids CSH 5, CSH 6, CSH 9 and COH 2 were sown at fortnightly intervals to study the flowering behaviour Correlations were worked out between the days to (i) panicle initiation, (ii; half-bloom and (iii) from panicle initiation to half-bloom on the one hand and the weather elements viz., maximum and minimum temperature, fore-noon and after-noon relative humidity, sun shine and rainfall that prevailed during the four phases of plant growth on the other. Nature and extent of association varied among the parental lincs and also between growth phases.
