Abstract
Six sorghum male sterile lines were crossed with 18 diverse pollinators in a line x tester design. The resulting 108 hybrids and 24 parents were grown separately in a contiguous block in four environments during kharif, 1981 and were evaluated for 16 forage characters. The objective of the study was to investigate the magnitude of heterosis, combining ability, genetic divergence among parents, character associations, genotype x environment interactions and phenotypic stability of genotypes.
