Abstract
In field trials in the winter (rabi) season of 1978-9 on a black cotton soil, DM accumulation was greater and LAI and plant ht. less in sorghum cv. CSH 168 than in cv. CSH 6. Albedo values were higher at dawn and dusk than at midday and were higher in cv. CSH 168 than in cv. CSH 6, indicating that more energy was available in CSH 6 for evapotranspiration. Greater DM production, LAI and rate of loss of soil moisture were associated with higher albedo. Max. reflection of solar radiation occurred at 800 nm in the near IR, with a lower peak at 550 nm in the visible waveband. Similar results were obtained in the rainy (kharif) season
