Abstract
Crops grown in 1971 and 1972 from sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] seed of two different weights were compared to determine the influence of seed weight on the resulting crop. The lighter seed weighed about 86% as much as the heavier seed. Genetic differences were essentially eliminated and quality differences minimized between the two seed weights. Characteristics of the crops studied were emergence percentage; seedling weight; days to 50y0 bloom; leaf blade width, length, and area; culm diameter; plant height; number of nodes; test weight; kernel weight; kernels per panicle; panicles per plant; and grain yield. Except for a difference of 0.03 cm in culm diameter in 1971 and a difference of 0.6% in emergence in 1972, the crops from the two seed weights did not differ significantly for the characteristics studied
