Abstract
A total of 85 sorghum genotypes, composed of 13 male parents (lines) 5 female parents (testers), 65 F1 hybrids, and two controls (a hybrid and open-pollinated cultivar) were planted at Muzarabani Agricultural Development Authority (ADA) Estate in Mashonaland Central Province, Zimbabwe for two seasons (1986/87 and 1987/88). The harvested grain was evaluated for diastatic activity and 13 other malting qualities at the Southern Africa Development Community/International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (SADC/ICRISAT) Laboratory, in 1989, at Matopos Research Station.
