A diallel analysis with seven varieties of forage sorghum revealed that gca and sca variances were highly significant for days to flowering, plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf breadth, flag leaf area, green fodder and dry matter yield and crude protein percentage. ‘PC 6’, ‘SSG 59-3’ and ‘PC 1’ were good general combiners for green fodder as well as dry matter yield. Six crosses, ‘SSG 59-3 x PC 6’, ‘S 1049 x PC 1’, ‘SL 44 x PC 1’, ‘S 1049 x PC 6’, ‘SSG 59-3 x PC 1’ and ‘S 1049 x SSG 59 3’, were superior for green fodder and dry matter y eld.
