Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of depleting moisture on physio-biochemical and yield parameters on sorghum genotypes during rabi season. The trail consists 16 genotypes with single moisture regimes up to harvest. The study revealed that genotypes RSV-1910, RSV-2520 and RSV-2511 were performed superiorly under the depleting soil moisture condition by maintaining higher number of leaves, leaf area, LAI, RLWC, photosynthetic rate, PAR, harvest index (%) and transpiration rate. Therefore, these drought tolerant donors could be used as parents in breeding programme for developing drought tolerant genotypes in sorghum.
