Abstract


the genetic analysis was carride out for groon fodder yeild and other sight quantitative characters in forege sorghum. The material consisted of soven forage sorghum varieties and their 21 F1 Crosses Both additive and non-additive components of genetic varianna were contributing in the control of yield and other quantitative traits. Additive genetic variance was predominent for number of tillers and number of leaves white non-edditive for days to flowering, plant height, leaf lenath, leaf width, flag leat ares, green fudder and rdry matter yield per plant. To get significant genetic advance exploitation of both additive and non-additive part of genetic variance was suggested by following appropriate recurrent selection procedures
