PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SORGHUM VARIETIES IN POTHWAR AREAS OF PAKISTAN.

Twenty sorghum entries were screened for grain and other associated characters at the Barani Agricultural Research Station, Fatehjang, Attock, Pakistan in 2017. These sorghum genotypes showed different attributes against different traits. The results revealed that greater flag leaf area, stem diameter, number of leaves/ plant and plant height was observed in FJSS-09, FJSS-23 and Higari genotypes. Among these entries, higher grain and fodder yield was noted in FJSS-09 (3820 kg/ha & 23456 kg/ha) and FJSS-23 (3643 kg/ha & 22576 kg/ha). The genotype PARC-SS-1 exhibited earliness as it took 111 days to mature while PGRI-191 was found late maturing entry (124 days).
