Abstract

Fourteen genotypes of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench were grown at four locations. For grain yield plant (g) the performance was predictable, however, for number of grains/panicle, 1000 grain weight and number of primary branches/panicle genotype x environments (linear) mean square was highly significant which indicated that the performance was entirely heritable. Hybrids were in general high yielding and stable. Similar behaviour was manifeseted for other characters also by hybrids. Path analysis revealed that number of grains had large positive direct effect on yield at most of the locations. Primary branches was another important component of yield. Number of grains had consistently positive direct effect on yield.
