Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate 10 sorghum B lines and 11 promising rabi genotypes along with two checks for their morpho- physiological and biophysical traits influencing the productivity during rabi season for two years under recedual moisture condition and to find out the relation of morpho-physiological traits with productivity. The photosynthetic rate at flowering ranged from 23.6 to 44.5 μmol m-2 S-1. Sorghum genotypes which accumulated more than 600 g total dry matter accumulation per m2 at maturity with higher test weight ( > 28.0 g ) and harvest index above 42 per cent gave higher grain yield In the present investigation genotype ICSV-95 is the only genotype which has out yielded the check M-35-1, which had higher grain yield with higher values of all growth parameters.
