Evaluation of new grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) varieties for human and animal consumption
Main Article Content
Abstract
interaction, applied to a group of four promising
grain sorghum varieties (80 L (27925-1); M-36285; MR 4 (4606)
T ? 11; GOLDEN ISIAP) are shown, with the purpose of
evaluating grain yield, plant height and precocity, compared
to two checks (V-4, V-3). The study had 12 randomized blockdesigned
experiments and four replications. The trials were
carried out in two locations (Alquízar, Havana and Velasco,
Holguin), during the poorly-rainy and rainy seasons
(November-February and April-July, respectively), for three
years (1985-1986; 1986-1987; 1987-1988). Different univariate
and multivariate methods of genetic evaluation were used for
the selection of the introduced varieties with favorable
response to the weather and handling conditions in the
agricultural areas. The results show that the promising varieties
reached good yields (3843-3969 kg.ha-1), as well as acceptable
plant height (166-169 cm) and precocity (70 days), especially
the GOLDEN ISIAP variety.
