Stability and Performance Analysis for Grain Sorghum Hybrids and ther Parental Lines

Analysis of grain yield stability and assessment of genotype × environment interaction for grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes

The interaction of genotype × environment creates complications in yield prediction and is a challenge for agronomy and plant breeding programs. To evaluate grain yield stability and genotype × environment interaction for 18 local and exotic grain sorghum cultivars, lines, and hybrids, a field experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications in four region...

Stability and adaptability of grain sorghum hybrids in the off-season.

We analyzed productivity data obtained from experiments on grain sorghum conducted in 7 locations of its cultivation in Brazil. A total of 25 hybrids were analyzed, of which 22 were pre-commercial and 3 were cultivars. The Wricke and Purchase et al. methods were highly consistent in identifying individuals with low contributions to genotype x environment interactions. The Lin and Binns method p...

Evaluation of grain yield in sorghum hybrids under water stress.

Sorghum grain yield can be significantly affected by climatic changes, especially drought and high temperature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hybrids of grain sorghum grown under normal irrigation conditions or water stress in order to select those likely to be more tolerant of drought. Forty-nine hybrids were grown in a randomized block design experiment, with three replications. T...

Effect of deficit irrigation and within row spacing on morphological traits and grain yield of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) promising lines

To evaluate the effect of deficit irrigation and within row spacing on grain yield and yield components of grain sorghum promising lines, an experiment was conducted as split plot-factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications in 2015 and 2016 at the research field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. Main plots consisted of three irrigation r...
