The MET Analysis of Yield Performance of Advanced Sorghum [Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench] Lines under Moisture Stress Areas Using Spatial Analysis
2020
Sorghum
is one of the most widely cultivated cereal crops in Ethiopia which is grown
for food and feed uses. It’s far an indigenous crop that’s grown in incredibly diverse
environments of getting diverse water strain, soil fertility, and temperature
situations. Trait of sorghum varieties tolerant to drought and producing
desirable grain yield at the same time as addressing the biomass requirement is
one of the techniques within the sorghum breeding program to the dry lowland
surroundings so one can feed the growing population in Ethiopia. A total of 126
superior early maturing sorghum elite lines had been evaluated through along
with recently released popular trendy check Melkam and Argiti to estimate the
grain yield and stability of overall performance throughout the testing
environments. Based on the overall performance of grain yield, flowering time, plant height, and the stability of grain yield
genotype ETSC14501-2-2 and 14MWLSDT7196
become top ranked followed by genotype 14MWLSDT7176, 14MWLSDT7241 and
13MWF6#6037 which could be a capability candidate for production to the target
environments. The varieties had better grain yield performance and
stability across the environment, which may be used as capacity parental lines
for genetic improvement in the sorghum improvement program. Finally based on
the presented result on early maturing variety ETSC14501-2-2 with the pedigree
of Redswazi/Meko-1 identified and registered for variety verification across
locations on stations and on farms to confirm the stability and preference by
farmers with their own farming practices.
