Preliminary Studies on the Influence of Soil Moisture on the Growth and Duration to Flowering in Sorghum Variety CS 3541

Abstract

Pot culture experiments conducted under glass house conditions with CS 3541. male parent of CSH. 5 hybrid sorghum, indicated that of the plants maintained at 25. 50, 75 and 100 per cent available soil moisture levels, those maintained at 50 per cent flowered 81.0 days after sowing while those maintained at 75, 100 and 25 per cent 1,6 and 11.5 days respectively there-after, indicating there by the possibility of altering the duration to flowering in this variety by adjusting the soil moisture levels.
