Promising dual purpose heterotic cross combinations in post rainy sorghum
Author(s): Gawande SM, Kalpande VV and Surashe SM
Abstract: Five lines and ten testers were crossed in line x tester design to produce 50 cross combinations in order to indentify the dual purpose rabi sorghum hybrids. Promising hybrids were sorted out based on positive significant standard heterosis for grain yield along with fodder yield. Nine hybrids viz., AKRMS-66-2A(38) x Rb-Local-1-1-sel-1, AKRMS-66-2A(38) x SLR-137, AKRMS-66-2A(38) x Elangovan-35, AKRMS-66-2A(38) x Rb-Local-5(Bold), AKRMS-66-2-3A x Elangovan-35,AKRMS-66-2A(40) x Rb-Local-1-1-sel-1, AKRMS-80-1A(39) x Elangovan-35, AKRMS-80-1A(39) x PKV-Kranti and AKRMS-66-2A(38) x RSV-962 exhibited positive significant standard heterosis for grain yield as well as fodder yield. The best dual purpose cross combination was AKRMS-66-2A(38) x Rb-Local-1-1-sel-1 with standard heterosis of 31.89% for grain yield per plant along with the standard heterosis of 26.73% for fodder yield per plant.
