New Sorghum Genotypes Boost Yield and Plant Health for Farmers
Ten sorghum genotypes were studied to understand their variability, heritability, and yield characteristics. The researchers found that differences in traits like grain yield and plant height were mainly due to genetics rather than the environment. This suggests that selecting sorghum genotypes based on their physical traits could be beneficial for breeding programs. The study showed that traits like grain yield, plant height, and panic weight are influenced by additive gene action, making them good candidates for genetic improvement in sorghum.
