Abstract

Heterosis was significantly positive for green fodder yield in the main fodder crop as well as ratoon crop in five out of 30 hybrids of interspecific crosses involving Sorghum bicolor and S. halepense. The study revealed good scope for commercial exploitation of heterosis for green fodder yield in sorghum as in the bajra-napier hybrids.
