*Part XXIII of the series ‘Genetic analysis of some exotic × Indian crosses in sorghum’ Part XXII appeared in Indian J. Genet. 40.
Experiments involving hybrids and varieties were conducted each under high and low input-managements at six locations over a three-year period.
The top ranking hybrids and varieties maintained their relative ranks under both types of inputs and managements. The rank correlations were highly significant.
The genotype × input management interaction was significant only in a few cases. Even here, the magnitude of the m.s. for this interaction was the lowest compared to m.s. for genotype or management.
Estimates of H, √H and E (ΔY) also revealed the advantages of selection under optimal environments.
