Abstract

Losses in weight of sorghum seed due to Macrophomina phaseolina ranged from 15.18 to 54.59% in different genotypes depending on lodging levels (21.99-78.37%). Lodging was less in the kharif season than in rabi. There was a direct correlation between lodging and loss in seed wt. Correlation of lodging between hybrids, cultivars and parental lines was non-significant, indicating that all are uniformly susceptible. The local cultivar Nandyal showed least loss in seed wt., whereas CSH-6, CSH-8R, SPV-373 and CSV-7R were highly susceptible
