Selection indices to identify drought-tolerant grain sorghum cultivars.
Twenty-five cultivars of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] were examined under both drought stress and normal conditions in 4 experiments. In each condition, genotypes were evaluated in a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Eight drought tolerance indices including stability tolerance index, mean productivity (MP), geometric MP, harmonic ...
متن کاملEvaluation of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) lines/cultivars under salinity stress using tolerance indices
Selecting and cultivating the crops/varieties that can tolerate water salinity is potentially animportant strategy to save fresh water resources and maximize the crop yield in salt affected areas.To evaluate the responses of 36 sorghum lines and cultivars to salinity stress, two fieldexperiments were conducted in non-stress (EC=2 dS/m) and salinity stress conditions (EC=12dS/m) using randomized...
متن کاملBreeding Grain Mold Resistant Sorghum Cultivars
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is the fifth important cereal crop after wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the world. It is cultivated in about 46 million ha with a total production of 62 million t (FAO 1998). Asia and Africa account 86% of the total area under sorghum, but their contribution towards total product...
متن کاملEvaluation of yield of promising dual purpose grain- forage sorghum lines (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) using drought tolerance indices
To evaluate and select the promising lines of dual purpose grain-forage sorghum under drought stress conditions, a field experiment assplit plot arrangements in randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out atresearch field station of Seed and Plant Improvement Research Institute, Karaj, Iran, in 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Irrigation levels (60 mm, 120 mm and 180 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Grain Yield, Agronomical Traits and Drought Tolerance Indices in Some Bread Wheat Cultivars
In order to study genetic variation and effect of drought stress on grain yield, some agronomical traits and 13 drought tolerance indices, an experiment was conducted on nine cultivars at Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman research field. The experimental layout was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under two complementary irrigation and dryland condi...
