Abstract
Improved dwarf varieties of sorghum, which are mostly derived from exotic x Indian crosses, two commercial hybrids and their parents, and the tall Indian variety ‘Aispuri’ exhibited distnct patterns of root activity at knee-high and flowering stages. The differences were pronounced at the knee-high stage, the root activity of dwarfs being more at the surface at 5 cm lateral distance (L1) and in deeper layers at 10 cm (L2) and 20 cm (L3) lateral distances. In case of the tall parent, while the root activity was relatively deeper at L1, at L2 and L3 the activity was relatively superficial...
