Sweet Sorghum- Variability & Correlation Among the Different Traits

As, Sweet Sorghum has bright future in ethanol fuel production hence a field experiment was conducted to study the magnitude of genetic variability and character association in 46 genotypes of Sweet Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Experiment conducted in randomized block design with three replications showed tremendous genetic variability and correlation among various characters.It will prove to be the base material in genetic improvement of sweet sorghum crop as variability is essential requirement of any crop improvement program.
