1Part XXV of “Genetic analysis of some exotic X Indian crosses in sorghum”. Part XXIV appeared in Indian J. Genet., 41:
The performance of some of the recently developed hybrids and varieties during the kkarif season in India over a three year period has been examined. The recently released hybrid SPH-61 (GSH-9) was consistently superior and the most stable in yield performance. Hybrids were generally superior in performance and stability compared to improved varieties, but the latter do reflect significant improvement over local cultivars and could supplement hybrids to accomplish greater coverage.
