SUMMARY
The goal of the present study was to evaluate, categories, and classify 200 stem borer (SB)
lines of the cross HJ 513 x IS 2205 for traits related to fodder yield during the Kharif 2017 and 2018 at
the research area of the forage section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana
Agricultural University. Data on 11 morphological characters, were observed. The results of a
correlation analysis showed that characters like dry fodder yield had a highly significant positive
association with the amount of green fodder produced on each plot, whereas traits like plant height
had a significant correlation with the amount of green fodder produced on each plot. Estimates of
path coefficients in F3 and F4 population revealed direct positive effects on green fodder yield
exhibited by dry fodder yield per plot and leaf breadth.
Key words: Sorghum, selection, correlation and path coefficient
