1Part XXVI of Genetic analysis of some exotic x Indian crosses in sorghum. Part XXV was published in Indian J. Genet. 41 (1981).
An attempt has been made to develop a basis for further improvement of male and female parents for future commercial sorgeum hybrides. With respect to female improvement, compared to B x B crosses, B x R crosses offered greater scope for improving yield, grain quality and resistance ot stem borer. The B x R and R x R crosses have been found to be generally superior to B x R indicating limited B variability among B lines.
