Abstract

The analyses of means, variance and correlations were carried out on 16 germplasm accessions of sorghum after storing them for two years under ambient storage conditions. The study revealed the difference among accessions for their storability. Several seed and seedling characters were found to be correlated among themselves and with the viability of accessions after two years of storage.
