Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Grain yield of sorghum ranged from 0 to 475 g m-2 across sowing dates at Farako.
- Observation Grain yield of sorghum ranged from 0 to 319 g m-2 across sowing dates at Sotuba.
- Observation Grain yield of sorghum ranged from 0 to 431 g m-2 across sowing dates at Cinzana.
- Observation All main effects were significant sources of variation in grain yield at all sites.
- Observation First order interactions significantly affected grain yield, except year and variety at Sotuba.
- Association A weak positive correlation was observed between harvest index and grain yield of sorghum genotypes.
- Association No relationship was found between grain yield and the other morphological traits of sorghum genotypes.
- Observation The genotype by location and genotype by sowing date interactions for grain yield were significant.
- Recommendation Genotypic variability can be exploited to adapt sorghum production systems to variable climate.
