Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Sowing date significantly affected most measured sorghum traits.
- Intervention effect Internode length was an exception to the sowing date effect.
- Intervention effect At the second planting date, sorghum sowing-to-flowering cycle shortened by 08 to 20 days.
- Intervention effect Delayed sowing decreased plant height by 66.4 cm.
- Intervention effect Delayed sowing decreased 100 grain weight by 8.3%.
- Intervention effect Delayed sowing decreased grain yield per plant by 18.93%.
- Observation Genotypes differed in photoperiod sensitivity with mean coefficient 0.59.
- Observation All genotypes flowered between September 11 and 27 under both sowing dates.
- Recommendation The results could inform the sweet sorghum breeding cropping calendar.
