The use of the Ugandan initial grain sorghum forms in the hybridization of the sorghum varieties for forage and food

The problem to develop new early maturing grain sorghum varieties adapted mechanized harvesting with high productivity and feed advantages, is of great urgency. purpose the current work was study inheritance main economically valuable traits in first generation hybrids developed hybridization between samples different ecological geographical origin. In Zernogradskoe 88 × Seso 1 Narosorg 1, there identified improvement 1000-grain weight, number grains per panicle, length a peduncle comparison initial parental forms. hybrid combination obtained as result 3 not any positive manifestation heterosis for breeding process studied traits. According trait ‘plant height’ all combinations, overdominance high-growing protein percentage established depression or dominance lower values trait. ‘length vegetation period’ corresponded partial both higher
