Abstract
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] having ability to grow in poor
soil, faster growth habit, high yielding, palatable, nutritious quality and uniform
green fodder yield throughout the year. The experimental material comprised of
three male sterile lines used as female parents, fifteen genotypes used as male
parents, 45 F1s were developed in a Line x tester fashion and one standard check
hybrid (GFSH 1). Fourteen characters in these sixty four entries were studied in a
randomized block design with three replications at Main Forage Research
Station, A.A.U., Anand during kharif of the year 2012, with the objectives to
obtain information on heterosis and combining ability study in forage sorghum.
The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among
hybrids for
