Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out with 28 diverse genotypes of brown midrib sorghum including three checks (Parbhani Moti, CSV-22R and CSV 23 BMR) in Randomized Block Design with two replications during rabi, 2023. Observations were recorded for 12 characters. High estimates of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was observed for traits viz. plant height (cm), grain yield per plant, while moderate GCV and PCV was observed for number of primaries / panicle, number of leaves, panicle length, panicle width, leaf area, stem girth, leaf: stem ratio, 100-seed weight, fodder yield per plant and low genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for days to 50% flowering. High heritability coupled with high expected genetic advance were exhibited for the traits viz. plant height, panicle length, number of leaves, leaf: stem ratio, fodder yield per plant, 100-seed weight, grain yield per plant.
