GENETIC VARIABILITY AND TRAIT ASSOCIATIONS AMONG SORGHUM [SORGHUM BICOLOR (L.) MOENCH] GENOTYPES FOR YIELD AND YIELD RELATED TRAITS IN WEST HARARGHE, ETHIOPIA

Abstract:

The study of genetic variability for key agro-morphological traits is crucial in sorghum breeding. Although, the national sorghum improvement programs have released a number of sorghum varieties for the highland areas of Ethiopia, the production and productivity is still low as compared to global potential (6 ton/ha ). Huge amount of sorghum germplasm exists in the country, but a little information is available on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for the studied germplasm. The current study was designed to generate information on genetic variability, to assess the associations among traits for yield and yield related traits and to identify traits that best explain genetic variation and to group the genotypes based on morphological traits. A total of 36 sorghum genotypes were evaluated in simple lattice design with two replications in 2021 main cropping season at Chiro and Hirna West Hararghe. Combined analysis of variance showed highly significant difference (p
