Abstract
Analysis of data on grain yield/plant, 1000-grain weight and grain number/panicle in 6 sorghum genotypes with 0, 10, 15 or 20 primary branches removed from the panicle indicated that removal of 10 to 15 primary branches gave an increase in grain size without a significant decline in grain number or yield. It is suggested that in handling segregating material, selection could be based on bolder grains with slightly fewer grains/panicle.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:In trials with 6 sorghum cv., the removal of 10-15 primary branches randomly from a panicle soon after its emergence decreased the number of grains but increased their size; grain yield was not decreased. Yield was decreased after removing 20 branches
