Evaluation for Morphological and Biochemical Traits Related to Quality Biomass Production among MS Based Forage Sorghum Hybrids

Year 2016, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 33 - 40, 30.07.2016

Abstract

Livestock is a major component of Indian agriculture. With the increase in livestock population during past few years
there is huge gap in demand and supply of green as well as dry fodder, hence forage crops improvement programme needs
to be strengthened. Keeping this in view hybrid evaluation experiments were conducted during kharif 2013 and 2014 at
Research area of forage farm at CCS HAU, Hisar and material was sown in randomized block design to estimate overall
performance of hybrids for two successive years. Fifteen MS based hybrids were developed for two successive years and
then evaluated for two years for various agronomic traits that affect the biomass production directly or indirectly. Out of
these hybrids HH 602, HH 561, HH 529 and HH 619 showed higher green and dry fodder yield for two successive years
as compared to best check SSG 59-3 (GFY: 737.6 q/ha and DFY: 137.7 q/ha). As far as their quality is concerned they
have low HCN than toxic limit (200 micro g/g) crude protein more than 8% and in vitro dry matter digestibility more than
50% in HH 529 and HH 619. Thus, on the basis of this evaluation programme we can say that these hybrids are promising
for green fodder productivity. They may also help to fill the gap between demand and supply of green as well as dry fodder
for livestock industry.
