Abstract
In trials with 8 fodder sorghum cultivars at 4 sites, protein content was 5.10-6.77%, neutral detergent fibre (NDF) 59.24-69.21%, acid detergent fibre (ADF) 34.88-42.10%, in vitro DM digestibility 52.07-61.93% and tannin content 4.65-21.48 mg/g. DM yield and stem girth were highest and leaf:stem ratio lowest at Hissar. The number of leaves/m of row decreased with site in the order Delhi>Hissar>Amravati>Parbhani. The tannin, ADF and NDF contents were significantly and positively correlated with stem girth and leaf number/m of row. There was a significant negative correlation between in vitro DM digestibility and stem girth
