Abstract:
Present study comprised of 42 B lines and 13R lines of Rabi sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench). The phenotypic variance was more than genotypic variance for all the characters. Exhibition of high genotypic and phenotypic variance, heritability and genetic advance were observed for the characters viz., panicle weight, grain yield per plant, 1000 seed weight and number of seeds per panicle showing additive gene effects were governing these traits. Positive and significant correlation exhibited between grain yield and panicle width, panicle weight, 1000 seed weight and number of seeds per panicle at phenotypic level, while the peduncle length exhibited negative correlation with grain yield.
